ABSTRACT:
A magnetic memory device which comprises a magnetic memory cell that includes a magnetic material switchable between two resistive states on the application of a magnetic field. The device also comprises a wire that is connected to the magnetic memory cell and has a conductive connecting link and a conductive word or bit line which are electrically connected to each other. The connecting link is disposed between the word or bit line and the magnetic memory cell and has a thermal resistance that is larger than that of the word or bit line so as to provide a barrier for heat conduction from the magnetic memory cell to the word or bit line.
