Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a first magnetic layer extending in a first direction, a second magnetic layer that extends on and parallel to the first magnetic layer, and a conductive layer extending between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer includes a first region having magnetic moments oriented in a first rotational direction along the first direction. The second magnetic layer includes a second region having magnetic moments oriented in a second rotational direction along the first direction. The second rotational direction is different from the first rotational direction.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device may include a perpendicular magnetic structure, an in-plane magnetic structure, a free magnetic pattern between the perpendicular magnetic structure and the in-plane magnetic structure, and a tunnel barrier pattern between the perpendicular magnetic structure and the free magnetic pattern. The perpendicular magnetic structure may include at least one pinned pattern which has a perpendicular magnetization direction that is pinned to a specific direction, and the free magnetic pattern may have a switchable perpendicular magnetization direction. The in-plane magnetic structure may include a first magnetic pattern and a second magnetic pattern, and each of the first and second magnetic patterns may have a different respective in-plane magnetization direction.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a reference magnetic structure, a free magnetic structure, and a tunnel barrier pattern between the reference magnetic structure and the free magnetic structure. The reference magnetic structure includes a first pinned pattern, a second pinned pattern between the first pinned pattern and the tunnel barrier pattern, and an exchange coupling pattern between the first and the second pinned pattern. The second pinned pattern includes a first magnetic pattern adjacent the exchange coupling pattern, a second magnetic pattern adjacent the tunnel barrier pattern, a third magnetic pattern between the first and the second magnetic pattern, a first non-magnetic pattern between the first and the third magnetic pattern, and a second non-magnetic pattern between the second and the third magnetic pattern. The first non-magnetic pattern has a different crystal structure from the second non-magnetic pattern, and at least a portion of the third magnetic pattern is amorphous.
