Abstract: The present disclosure describes a method utilizing an ion beam etch process, instead of a RIE etch process, to form magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structures. For example, the method includes forming MTJ structure layers on an interconnect layer, where the interconnect layer includes a first area and a second area. The method further includes depositing a mask layer over the MTJ structure layers in the first area and forming masking structures over the MTJ structure layers in the second area. The method also includes etching with an ion beam etch process, the MTJ structure layers between the masking structures to form MTJ structures over vias in the second area of the interconnect layer; and removing, with the ion beam etch process, the mask layer, the top electrode, the MTJ stack, and a portion of the bottom electrode in the first area of the interconnect layer.

Abstract: A memory device includes a substrate, an etch stop layer, a protective layer, and a resistance switching element. The substrate has a memory region and a logic region, and includes a metallization pattern therein. The etch stop layer is over the substrate, and has a first portion over the memory region and a second portion over the logic region. The protective layer covers the first portion of the etch stop layer. The protective layer does not cover the second portion of the etch stop layer. The resistance switching element is over the memory region, and the resistance switching element is electrically connected to the metallization pattern through the etch stop layer and the protective layer.

Abstract: A memory device and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The memory device includes a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) and a spin Hall electrode (SHE). The MTJ includes a free layer, a reference layer and a barrier layer lying between the free layer and the reference layer. The SHE is in contact with the MTJ, and configured to convert a charge current to a spin current for programming the MTJ. The SHE is formed of an alloy comprising at least one heavy metal element and at least one light transition metal element. The heavy metal element is selected from metal elements with one or more valence electrons filling in 5 d orbitals, and the light transition metal element is selected from transition metal elements with one or more valence electrons partially filling in 3 d orbitals.

Abstract: A magnetic memory device includes a spin-orbit torque (SOT) induction structure which may be strained and seedless and formed with a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack is disposed over the SOT induction structure. A spacer layer may decouple layers between the SOT induction structure and the MTJ stack or decouple layers within the MTJ stack. One end of the SOT induction structure may be coupled to a first transistor and another end of the SOT induction structure coupled to a second transistor.
