Methods for manufacturing a magnetic tunnel junction structure include forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) layer by sequentially stacking a first ferromagnetic layer, a tunnel insulation layer, and a second ferromagnetic layer on a substrate, forming a mask pattern on the MTJ layer, and etching at least a portion of the MTJ layer in an etching chamber using the mask pattern as an etch mask, wherein the etching of the at least a portion of the MTJ layer includes applying a RF source power to a first electrode of the etching chamber as first RF power in a first pulselike mode, and applying a RF bias power to a second electrode of the etching chamber as second RF power in a second pulselike mode. The second pulselike mode of the RF bias power has a different phase from the first pulselike mode of the RF source power.
