    摘要: A method of making a magnetic random access memory device includes forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) on an electrode, the MTJ including a reference layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a free layer; disposing a hard mask on the MTJ; etching sidewalls of the hard mask and MTJ to form a stack with a first width and redeposit metal along the MTJ sidewall; depositing a sacrificial dielectric layer on the hard mask, surface of the electrode, exposed sidewall of the hard mask and the MTJ, and on redeposited metal along the sidewall of the MTJ; removing a portion of the sacrificial dielectric layer from sidewalls of the hard mask and MTJ and redeposited metal from the MTJ sidewalls; and removing a portion of a sidewall of the MTJ and hard mask to provide a second width to the stack; wherein the second width is less than the first width.

    摘要: A technique relates to a method of forming a laminated multilayer magnetic structure. An adhesion layer is deposited on a substrate. A magnetic seed layer is deposited on top of the adhesion layer. Magnetic layers and non-magnetic spacer layers are alternatingly deposited such that an even number of the magnetic layers is deposited while an odd number of the non-magnetic spacer layers is deposited. The odd number is one less than the even number. Every two of the magnetic layers is separated by one of the non-magnetic spacer layers. The first of the magnetic layers is deposited on the magnetic seed layer, and the magnetic layers each have a thickness less than 500 nanometers.
