Abstract:
A method of forming a semiconductor structure includes forming a first spacer material over two or more mandrels disposed over a magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) stack. The method also includes performing a first sidewall image transfer of the two or more mandrels to form a first set of fins of the first spacer material over the MRAM stack, and performing a second sidewall image transfer to form a plurality of pillars of the first spacer material over the MRAM stack. The pillars of the first spacer material form top electrodes for a plurality of MRAM cells patterned from the MRAM stack.
