Original Abstract Submitted

A magnetic memory device includes a conductive line extending in a first direction, a magnetic tunnel junction structure on a first surface of the conductive line, the magnetic tunnel junction structure comprising at least two magnetic patterns and a barrier pattern between the at least two magnetic patterns, and a magnetic layer on a second surface of the conductive line, which is opposite to the first surface. The magnetic layer includes magnetization components having a magnetization in a direction which is parallel to the second surface and intersects the first direction.
