    Abstract: Systems and methods for forming precise and self-aligned top metal contact for a Magnetoresistive random-access memory (MRAM) device include forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) in a common interlayer metal dielectric (IMD) layer with a logic element. A low dielectric constant (K) etch stop layer is selectively retained over an exposed top surface of the MTJ. Etching is selectively performed through a top IMD layer formed over the low K etch stop layer and the common IMD layer, based on a first chemistry which prevents etching through the low K etch stop layer. By switching chemistry to a second chemistry which precisely etches through the low K etch stop layer, an opening is created for forming a self-aligned top contact to the exposed top surface of the MTJ.

    Abstract: Some implementations provide a die that includes a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) cell array that includes several MRAM cells. The die also includes a first ferromagnetic layer positioned above the MRAM cell array, a second ferromagnetic layer positioned below the MRAM cell array, and several vias positioned around at least one MRAM cell. The via comprising a ferromagnetic material. In some implementations, the first ferromagnetic layer, the second ferromagnetic layer and the several vias define a magnetic shield for the MRAM cell array. The MRAM cell may include a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). In some implementations, the several vias traverse at least a metal layer and a dielectric layer of the die. In some implementations, the vias are through substrate vias. In some implementations, the ferromagnetic material has high permeability and high B saturation.

    Abstract: A voltage-switchable dielectric layer may be employed on a die for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The voltage-switchable dielectric layer functions as a dielectric layer between terminals of the die during normal operation of the die. When ESD events occur at the terminals of the die, a high voltage between the terminals switches the voltage-switchable dielectric layer into a conducting layer to allow current to discharge to a ground terminal of the die without the current passing through circuitry of the die. Thus, damage to the circuitry of the die is reduced or prevented during ESD events on dies with the voltage-switchable dielectric layer. The voltage-switchable dielectric layer may be deposited on the back side of a die for protection during stacking with a second die to form a stacked IC. A method includes depositing a voltage-switchable dielectric layer on a first die between a first terminal and a second terminal.

    Abstract: A high density fan out package structure may include a contact layer. The contact layer includes a conductive interconnect layer having a first surface facing an active die and a second surface facing a redistribution layer. The high density fan out package structure has a barrier layer on the first surface of the conductive interconnect layer. The high density fan out package structure may also include the redistribution layer, which has conductive routing layers. The conductive routing layers may be configured to couple a first conductive interconnect to the conductive interconnect layer. The high density fan out package structure may further include a first via coupled to the barrier liner and configured to couple with a second conductive interconnect to the active die.
