    摘要: A method for fabricating a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) includes forming a mask over a magnetic layer; forming a template on the mask; applying a diblock copolymer to the template; curing the diblock copolymer to form a first plurality of uniform shapes registered to the template; etching the mask to form a second plurality of uniform shapes; and etching the magnetic layer to form a third plurality of uniform shapes, the third plurality of uniform shapes comprising a plurality of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). A diblock copolymer mask for fabricating a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) includes a magnetic layer; a mask formed on the magnetic layer; a template formed on the mask; and a diblock copolymer mask comprising a plurality of uniform shapes formed on and registered to the template.

    摘要: Techniques for magnetic device fabrication are provided. In one aspect, a method of patterning at least one, e.g., nonvolatile, material comprises the following steps. A hard mask structure is formed on at least one surface of the material to be patterned. The hard mask structure is configured to have a base, proximate to the material, and a top opposite the base. The base has one or more lateral dimensions that are greater than one or more lateral dimensions of the top of the hard mask structure, such that at least one portion of the base extends out laterally a substantial distance beyond the top. The top of the hard mask structure is at a greater vertical distance from the material being etched than the base. The material is etched.

    摘要: A method for forming an alignment mark structure for a semiconductor device includes forming an alignment recess at a selected level of the semiconductor device substrate. A first metal layer is formed over the selected substrate level and within the alignment recess, wherein the alignment recess is formed at a depth such that the first metal layer only partially fills the alignment recess. A second metal layer is formed over the first metal layer such that the alignment recess is completely filled. The second metal layer and the first metal layer are then planarized down to the selected substrate level, thereby creating a sacrificial plug of the second layer material within the alignment recess. The sacrificial plug is removed in a manner so as not to substantially roughen the planarized surface at the selected substrate level.
