1. A magnetic random access memory (MRAM), comprising:
a first magnetic layer disposed over a substrate;
a first non-magnetic layer disposed over the first magnetic layer;
a second magnetic layer disposed over the first non-magnetic layer;
a second non-magnetic layer disposed over the second magnetic layer; and
a third non-magnetic layer disposed over the second non-magnetic layer, wherein:
the second magnetic layer includes a plurality of magnetic material pieces,
the plurality of magnetic material pieces are in direct contact with the first non-magnetic layer, and
when viewed from above, shapes of the plurality of magnetic material pieces includes a circular shape, an oval shape or a cloud-shape.
