Abstract
A magnetic memory device may include a magnetic track that extends in a first direction. The magnetic track may include a lower magnetic layer that extends in the first direction, an upper magnetic layer that extends in the first direction on the lower magnetic layer, a spacer layer that extends in the first direction between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer, and a non-magnetic pattern that penetrates the upper magnetic layer and is on the spacer layer. The non-magnetic pattern has a first junction surface that is in contact with a first portion of the upper magnetic layer, and a second junction surface that is in contact with a second portion of the upper magnetic layer. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer.
