Abstract
A nonvolatile magnetic memory device with a magnetoresistance-effect element includes a laminated structure, a first wiring line, and a second wiring line. The laminated structure includes a recording layer in which an axis of easy magnetization is oriented in a perpendicular direction. The first wiring line is electrically connected to a lower part of the laminated structure. The second wiring line electrically connected to an upper part of the laminated structure. A high Young's modulus region is provided on a side surface of the laminated structure. A Young's modulus value of a material of the high Young's modulus region is greater than a Young's modulus value of a material of the recording layer.
