Abstract

A magnetic memory device includes a substrate, a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) structure disposed on the substrate, and a capping layer disposed on the MTJ structure. By adding a capping layer on the MTJ structure, the property of the magnetic memory device is improved, the magnetoresistance (MR) ratio is raised, and the time cost by the magnetic memory device to process data is effectively reduced.
