    Abstract: A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes the steps of providing a substrate having a device region and an alignment mark region, forming a first dielectric layer on the substrate and a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer, forming a conductive via in the second dielectric layer on the device region, forming a mask layer on the second dielectric layer, etching the second dielectric layer and the first dielectric layer through an opening of the mask layer on the alignment mark region to form a first trench through the second dielectric layer and an upper portion of the first dielectric layer and a plurality of second trenches in the first dielectric layer directly under the first trench. Afterward, a memory stack structure is formed on the second dielectric layer, covering the conductive via and filling into the first trench and the second trenches.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a semiconductor memory device including a substrate having a memory cell region and an alignment mark region; a dielectric layer covering the memory cell region and the alignment mark region; conductive vias in the dielectric layer within the memory cell region; an alignment mark trench in the dielectric layer within the alignment mark region; and storage structures disposed on the conductive vias, respectively. Each of the storage structures includes a bottom electrode defined from a bottom electrode metal layer, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure defined from an MTJ layer, and a top electrode. A residual metal stack is left in the alignment mark trench. The residual metal stack includes a portion of the bottom electrode metal layer and a portion of the MTJ layer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer, and a third dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate, around a first metal interconnection. The second dielectric layer is disposed on the first dielectric layer, around a via and a second metal interconnection. The second metal interconnection directly contacts the first metal interconnection. The third dielectric layer is disposed on the second dielectric layer, around a first magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) structure and a third metal interconnection. The third metal interconnection directly contacts the first MTJ structure and the second metal interconnection, and the first MTJ structure directly contacts the via.
