    摘要: A memory device with in-array magnetic shield includes an electrically conductive structure embedded within an interconnect dielectric material located above a first metal layer. The electrically conductive structure includes a bottom electrode. The memory device further includes a magnetic tunnel junction stack located above the bottom electrode, a dielectric filling layer surrounding the magnetic tunnel junction stack, one or more connecting vias extending through the dielectric filling layer and the interconnect dielectric material until a top portion of the first metal layer, and one or more dummy vias located between the one or more connecting vias and the magnetic tunnel junction stack for conducting an external magnetic field around the memory device.
