    Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device including providing a substrate; forming first and second lower conductive patterns, the and second lower conductive patterns being buried in an interlayer dielectric layer; forming a capping layer on the interlayer dielectric layer and a dummy layer on the capping layer; etching an exposed upper portion of the first lower conductive pattern to form a trench; forming a metal layer that covers the interlayer dielectric layer and the dummy layer such that the metal layer fills the trench; forming a magnetic tunnel junction layer on the metal layer; performing a patterning process to form a memory cell; and forming a first protective layer that covers a lateral surface of the memory cell, wherein, in the patterning process, the metal layer on the top surface of the interlayer dielectric layer is etched to form a first bottom electrode in the trench.
