Abstract
A write line structure for a magnetic memory cell includes a write conductor having a front surface facing the memory cell, a back surface and two sides surfaces. A cladding layer is disposed adjacent a portion of the front surface of the write conductor, with the cladding layer terminating at spaced first and second poles adjacent the front surface of the write conductor. A data storage layer is operatively positioned adjacent the cladding layer. The distance between the poles is less than the width of the write conductor. The width of the data storage layer may be greater than or less than the distance between the poles.
