A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a bottom-electrode metal layer over a substrate, planarizing the bottom-electrode metal layer by a first thickness through a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process, etching the bottom-electrode metal layer by a second thickness through a wet etching process, forming a plurality of layers of a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) element over the bottom-electrode metal layer, forming a top electrode over the plurality of layers, and forming the MTJ element and a bottom electrode by etching the plurality of layers and the bottom-electrode metal layer using the top electrode as an etch mask.
