    摘要: A device that includes a magnetic memory device, includes a magnetic tunnel junction pattern on a substrate and a mask structure on the magnetic tunnel junction pattern. The mask structure includes a conductive pattern and a sacrificial pattern, where the conductive pattern is between the magnetic tunnel junction pattern and the sacrificial pattern, and the sacrificial pattern includes a material having an etch selectivity with respect to the conductive pattern. The device includes an upper contact plug in contact with a surface of the conductive pattern of the mask structure. The device includes a lower interlayered insulating layer covering a cell region and a peripheral circuit region of the substrate, where the lower interlayered insulating layer on the cell region has a recessed top surface between adjacent magnetic tunnel junction patterns.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a magnetic memory device. The method for manufacturing a magnetic memory device comprises sequentially forming a first magnetic layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a second magnetic layer on a substrate, forming a boron absorption layer on the second magnetic layer, sequentially forming a metal capping layer and an oxygen donor layer on the boron absorption layer, and performing a heat treatment process to diffuse at least a portion of oxygen atoms included in the oxygen donor layer into the metal capping layer and the boron absorption layer. The metal capping layer has a greater oxygen diffusivity than the oxygen donor layer.
