Methods for fabricatingintegrated circuits with spin torque transfer magnetic randomaccess memory (STT-MRAM) including a passivation layer formed along lateral sidewalls of a magnetic tunnel junction of the STT-MRAM
Abstract:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit includes depositing a bottom electrode layer, an MTJ layer, and a top electrode layer over a passivation layer and within a trench of the passivation layer and removing portions of the MTJ layer and the top electrode layer to form an MTJ/top electrode stack over the bottom electrode layer and at least partially within portions of the trench having being reopened by said removing. The method further includes forming a further passivation layer over the MTJ/top electrode stack, forming a further ILD layer of the further passivation layer, and reforming a top electrode layer over the ILD layer and over the MTJ/top electrode stack. Still further, the method includes removing portions of the bottom electrode layer, the further passivation layer, the further ILD layer, and the re-formed top electrode layer to form a bottom electrode/MTJ/top electrode stack.
