Patent ID: 6967864

Claim:
A semiconductor memory device comprising: a semiconductor substrate; a first magneto resistive element arranged away from the semiconductor substrate, the first magneto resistive element being formed of a first fixing layer, a first recording layer and a first tunnel insulating film, the first fixing layer, the first recording layer, and the first tunnel insulating film being formed in a perpendicular direction with respect to the semiconductor substrate; first wiring which is arranged away from the semiconductor substrate and extends in a first direction; second wiring which is arranged away from the first wiring and the first magneto resistive element and extends in a second direction different from the first direction, third wiring which is arranged away from the second wiring, extends in the second direction, and is connected to the first magneto resistive element; fourth wiring which is formed away from the second wiring with a first space therebetween, is arranged away from the first wiring and the first magneto resistive element and extends in the second direction, the first magneto resistive element being formed in the first space; and fifth wiring which is formed away from the second wiring with a second space narrower than the first space therebetween, is formed away from the first wiring, and extends in the second direction, wherein the second wiring and the first magneto resistive element are arranged away from each other with a first distance therebetween, and the second space is twice the first distance or less.
