Magnetoresistive random access memory device structures

摘要

A method for fabricating an MRAM device structure includes providing a substrate on which is formed a first transistor and a second transistor. An operative memory element device is formed in electrical contact with the first transistor. At least a portion of a false memory element device is formed in electrical contact with the second transistor. A first dielectric layer is deposited overlying the at least a portion of a false memory element device and the operative memory element device. The first dielectric layer is etched to simultaneously form a first via to the at least a portion of a false memory element device and a second via to the operative memory element device. An electrically conductive interconnect layer is deposited so the electrically conductive interconnect layer extends from the at least a portion of a false memory element device to the operative memory element device.
