Abstract

According to one embodiment, a magnetic memory is disclosed. The magnetic memory includes a substrate, and a magnetoresistive element provided on the substrate. The magnetoresistive element includes a first magnetic layer, a tunnel barrier layer on the first magnetic layer, and a second magnetic layer on the tunnel barrier layer. The first magnetic layer or the second magnetic layer includes a first region, second region, and third region whose ratios of crystalline portion are higher in order closer to the tunneling barrier.
