Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a method for manufacturing a memory device. The method includes forming a bottom electrode layer over a substrate. A first etch process is performed, thereby defining one or more holes in the bottom electrode layer and defining a bottom electrode. A pair of insulators are formed within the one or more holes such that the insulators are disposed on opposing sides of the bottom electrode. A buffer layer, a seed layer, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack, and a top electrode are formed over the bottom electrode. A second etch process is performed to remove a portion of the buffer layer, the seed layer, the MTJ stack, and the top electrode, thereby defining a memory cell.
