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.
