Abstract: A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of providing a substrate comprising a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) region and a logic region, forming a first magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on the MRAM region, forming a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer around the first MTJ, and then forming a first metal interconnection extending from the MRAM region to the logic region on the first MTJ. Preferably, the first metal interconnection on the MRAM region and the first metal interconnection on the logic region have different heights.

Abstract: A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) stack on a substrate, in which the MTJ stack includes a pinned layer on the substrate, a barrier layer on the pinned layer, and a free layer on the barrier layer. Next, a top electrode is formed on the MTJ stack, the top electrode, the free layer, and the barrier layer are removed, a first cap layer is formed on the top electrode, the free layer, and the barrier layer, and the first cap layer and the pinned layer are removed to form a MTJ and a spacer adjacent to the MTJ.
