    摘要: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer, forming two via holes and a trench in the first IMD layer, forming a metal layer in the two via holes and the trench for forming a metal interconnection and a spin orbit torque (SOT) layer, forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on the SOT layer, forming a first hard mask on the MTJ, forming a second hard mask on the first hard mask, forming a cap layer adjacent to the MTJ, and forming a second IMD layer around the cap layer.

    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.
