Abstract:
1. A magnetic memory device, comprising: a magnetic memory element capable of holding data based on a magnetized state; and first and second conductors capable of changing the magnetized state by a magnetic field generated, wherein the magnetic memory element is disposed above the first conductor and below the second conductor at an intersection part of the first conductor extending in a first direction and the second conductor extending in a second direction, wherein the first conductor has a first width at the intersection part in a direction perpendicular to the first direction as viewed planarly, wherein the second conductor has a second width at the intersection part in a direction perpendicular to the second direction as viewed planarly, wherein the magnetic memory element has a third width in the direction perpendicular to the first direction as viewed planarly, and a fourth width in the direction perpendicular to the second direction as viewed planarly, and wherein the first width is larger than the third width, and the second width is smaller than the fourth width.
