Abstract

Magnetic memory element includes recording layer changing magnetization direction by external magnetic field, having easy-axis and hard-axis crossing easy-axis, first conductive layer forming magnetic field in direction crossing direction of easy-axis at layout position of recording layer, second conductive layer extending in direction crossing first conductive layer and forming magnetic field in direction crossing direction of hard-axis at layout position of recording layer. Recording layer has at least part between first conductive layer and second conductive layer. Planar-shaped recording layer viewed from direction where first and second conductive layers and recording layer are laminated, has portion located on side and other portion located on other side, with respect to virtual first center line of first conductive layer along direction where first conductive layer extends viewed from lamination direction. Area of portion viewed from lamination direction is less than or equal to one-third area of other portion.
