The present invention provides a magnetic memory device capable of
reducing a loss of a magnetic field generated by currents flowing in a
write line and performing writing stably, and a magnetic memory cell
mounted on the magnetic memory device. Further, the invention provides a
method for easily manufacturing such a magnetic memory device. A magnetic
memory cell includes: stacked bodies each including a magneto-sensitive
layer whose magnetization direction changes according to an external
magnetic field, and constructed so that current flows in a direction
perpendicular to a stack layer surface; and a toroidal magnetic layer
disposed between the first and second stacked bodies so that the
direction along the stack layer surface is set as an axial direction, and
constructed so as to be penetrated by a plurality of conductors along the
axial direction. Thus, strength reduction in a circulating magnetic field
generated in a toroidal magnetic layer can be suppressed, and the
magnetization direction of a magneto-sensitive layer in each of the first
and second stacked bodies can be inverted by a smaller write current.
