    摘要: This description relates to a method for fabricating a magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) device having a plurality of magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) units. The method includes forming a bottom conductive layer, forming an anti-ferromagnetic layer and forming a tunnel layer over the bottom conductive layer and the anti-ferromagnetic layer. The method further includes forming a free magnetic layer, having a magnetic moment aligned in a direction that is adjustable by applying an electromagnetic field, over the tunnel layer and forming a top conductive layer over the free magnetic layer. The method further includes performing at least one lithographic process to remove portions of the bottom conductive layer, the anti-ferromagnetic layer, the tunnel layer, the free magnetic layer and the top conductive layer that is uncovered by the photoresist layer until the bottom conductive layer is exposed and removing portions of at least one sidewall of the MTJ unit.

    摘要: A method of forming of biological sensing structures including a portion of a substrate is recessed to form a plurality of mesas in the substrate. Each of the plurality of mesas has a top surface and a sidewall surface. A first light reflecting layer is deposited over the top surface and the sidewall surface of each mesa. A filling material is formed over a first portion of the first light reflecting layer. A stop layer is deposited over the filling material and a second portion of the first light reflecting layer. A sacrificial layer is formed over the stop layer and is planarized exposing the stop layer. A first opening is formed in the stop layer and the first light reflecting layer. A second light reflecting layer is deposited over the first opening. A second opening is formed in the second light reflecting layer.

    摘要: A semiconductor device and a method of manufacture are provided, such as a MTJ device and a method of manufacturing a MTJ device. The MTJ device may include a bottom electrode, a MTJ stack, and a top electrode, wherein the top electrode is formed using a hole-filling technique. The top electrode may have slanted sidewalls. The MTJ stack may be formed by depositing corresponding MTJ layers. A patterned mask may be formed and patterned over the MTJ layers to form an opening defining the top electrode. The opening is filled with a conductive material to form the top electrode. The top electrode is then used as a mask to pattern the MTJ layers, thereby forming a MTJ stack.
