Summary:A magnetic random access memory includes a substrate; a first ferromagnetic layer; a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device provided on a same side of the substrate as the first ferromagnetic layer; and a wiring layer provided between the first ferromagnetic layer and the MTJ device. The MTJ device includes a second ferromagnetic layer opposing to the wiring layer. A first perpendicular projection of the first ferromagnetic layer on the substrate and a second perpendicular projection of the second ferromagnetic layer on the substrate are different in area, and one of the first and second perpendicular projections contains the other.
