    摘要: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a substrate having a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) region and a logic region; forming a MTJ on the MTJ region; forming a top electrode on the MTJ; forming an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer around the MTJ; removing the IMD layer directly on the top electrode to form a recess; forming a first hard mask on the IMD layer and into the recess; removing the first hard mask and the IMD layer on the logic region to form a contact hole; and forming a metal layer in the recess and the contact hole to form a connecting structure on the top electrode and a metal interconnection on the logic region.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a semiconductor memory device including a substrate having a memory cell region and an alignment mark region; a dielectric layer covering the memory cell region and the alignment mark region; conductive vias in the dielectric layer within the memory cell region; an alignment mark trench in the dielectric layer within the alignment mark region; and storage structures disposed on the conductive vias, respectively. Each of the storage structures includes a bottom electrode defined from a bottom electrode metal layer, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure defined from an MTJ layer, and a top electrode. A residual metal stack is left in the alignment mark trench. The residual metal stack includes a portion of the bottom electrode metal layer and a portion of the MTJ layer.

    摘要: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first providing a substrate having a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) region and an edge region, forming an first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on the substrate, and then forming a first MTJ and a second MTJ on the first IMD layer, in which the first MTJ is disposed on the MTJ region while the second MTJ is disposed on the edge region. Next, a second IMD layer is formed on the first MTJ and the second MTJ.
