Abstract: Techniques for shielding magnetic memory cells from magnetic fields are presented. In accordance with aspects of the invention, a magnetic storage element is formed with at least one conductive segment electrically coupled to the magnetic storage element. At least a portion of the conductive segment is surrounded with a magnetic liner. The magnetic liner is operative to divert at least a portion of a magnetic field created by a current passing through the conductive segment away from the magnetic storage element.
