Abstract
A magnetic memory device including bottom electrode bridges and a spin-orbit torque structure overlapping and physically coupled to the bottom electrode bridges and a method of forming the same are disclosed. In an embodiment, a memory includes a first electrode on a first via; a second electrode on a second via; a spin-orbit torque (SOT) structure physically and electrically coupled to the first electrode and the second electrode, the SOT structure overlapping the first electrode and the second electrode; and a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) on the SOT structure.
