Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a substrate having a memory area and a logic circuit area thereon, a first interlayer dielectric layer on the substrate, and a second interlayer dielectric layer on the substrate. An embedded memory cell structure is disposed within the memory area between the first interlayer dielectric layer and the second interlayer dielectric layer. The second interlayer dielectric layer includes a first portion covering the embedded memory cell structure within the memory area and a second portion covering the logic circuit area. A top surface of the first portion is coplanar with a top surface of the second portion.

Abstract: A MRAM structure, which is provided with multiple source lines between active areas, each source line has multiple branches electrically connecting with the active areas at opposite sides in alternating arrangement. Multiple word lines traverse through the active areas to form transistors. Multiple storage units are disposed between the word lines on the active areas in staggered array arrangement, and multiple bit lines electrically connect with storage units on corresponding active areas, wherein each storage cell includes one of the storage unit, two of the transistors respectively at both sides of the storage unit, and two branches of the source line.
