Systems, articles, and methods related to multilayered magnetic memory devices

Abstract

A magnetic memory device includes a magnetic track extending in a first direction. The magnetic track includes a lower magnetic layer, an upper magnetic layer on the lower magnetic layer, a non-magnetic pattern on the lower magnetic layer and at a side of the upper magnetic layer, and a spacer layer between the lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer and extending between the lower magnetic layer and the non-magnetic pattern. The lower magnetic layer and the upper magnetic layer are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other by the spacer layer. The non-magnetic pattern has a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. A junction surface between the non-magnetic pattern and the upper magnetic layer is inclined with respect to a reference surface perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface.
