Abstract

Magnetic memory devices and methods of manufacturing the same are disclosed. A method may include forming a magnetic tunnel junction layer on a substrate, forming mask patterns on the magnetic tunnel junction layer, and sequentially performing a plurality of ion implantation processes using the mask patterns as ion implantation masks to form an isolation region in the magnetic tunnel junction layer. The isolation region may thereby define magnetic tunnel junction parts that are disposed under corresponding ones of the mask patterns. A magnetic memory device may include a plurality of magnetic tunnel junction parts electrically and magnetically isolated from each other through the isolation region.
