MRAM device and fabrication method thereof |
摘要 |
A method of forming and a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device. In an embodiment, the MRAM device includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) disposed over a bottom electrode, the magnetic tunnel junction having a first sidewall, a top electrode disposed over the magnetic tunnel junction, and a dielectric spacer supported by the magnetic tunnel junction and extending along sidewalls of the top electrode, the dielectric spacer having a second sidewall substantially co-planar with the first sidewall of the magnetic tunnel junction. |

1. A magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device, comprising:
a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) disposed over a bottom electrode, the magnetic tunnel junction having a first sidewall; a top electrode disposed over an upper surface of the magnetic tunnel junction; a dielectric spacer on the upper surface of the magnetic tunnel junction and extending along sidewalls of the top electrode, the dielectric spacer having a width along the upper surface of the magnetic tunnel junction equal to a distance from a sidewall of the top electrode to a sidewall of the magnetic tunnel junction; and a dielectric cover extending over the dielectric spacer and on at least a portion of the top electrode. |
