Abstract
Disclosed are a magnetic memory device and a method of fabricating the same. The magnetic memory device comprises a bottom electrode on a substrate, a magnetic tunnel junction pattern including a first magnetic layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a second magnetic layer that are sequentially stacked on the bottom electrode, and a top electrode on the magnetic tunnel junction pattern. The bottom electrode comprises a first bottom electrode and a second bottom electrode on the first bottom electrode. Each of the first and second bottom electrodes comprises metal nitride. The first bottom electrode has a crystallinity higher than that of the second bottom electrode.
