The present disclosure provides a memory device structure including a wafer substrate, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) formed by a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a thin non-magnetic layer stacked along a first direction perpendicular to an upper surface of the wafer substrate above which the MTJ is formed, the non-magnetic layer being interposed between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer, a first contact electrically coupled to the first magnetic layer, and a second contact electrically coupled to the second magnetic layer.
