Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a memory region and a logic region. A first dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate. A first conductive structure and a second conductive structure are respectively formed in the first dielectric layer on the memory region and the logic region. A memory cell is formed on the first dielectric layer and directly contacts a top surface of the first conductive structure. A first cap layer continuously covers a top surface and a sidewall of the memory cell and directly contacts a top surface of the second conductive structure. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first cap layer. A third conductive structure penetrates through the second dielectric layer and the first cap layer to contact the memory cell.
