A magnetic memory device, in which a tunnel magneto resistance element that establishes
a connection between a write word line (first interconnection) and a bit line (second
interconnection) is provided within a region in which the write word line and the
bit line cross in a grade-separated manner. The magnetic memory device comprises
a through hole that is provided in such a manner that is insulated from the write
word line and also extending through the write word line so as to establish a connection
between the tunnel magneto resistance element and a second landing pad (interconnection
layer) lower than the write word line, and a contact that is formed in the through
hole through a side wall barrier film so as to establish a connection between the
tunnel magneto resistance element and the second landing pad.
