    摘要: A magnetoresistive random access memory device includes a substrate; conductive patterns on the substrate; an insulating interlayer covering the conductive patterns; a lower electrode contact passing through the insulating interlayer, the lower electrode contact contacting the conductive pattern; a lower electrode on the lower electrode contact, the lower electrode including a rounded sidewall; and a memory structure on the lower electrode, the memory structure including a stacked MTJ structure and upper electrode, wherein a width of the lower electrode increases from a lower portion to an upper portion, the memory structure has a sidewall slope such that a width of the memory structure increases from an upper portion to a lower portion, and at least a portion of a sidewall of the lower electrode is covered by the first insulating interlayer.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a memory device includes sequentially forming a first magnetization layer, a tunnel barrier layer, and a second magnetization layer on each other; forming a magnetic tunnel junction structure by patterning the first magnetization layer, the tunnel barrier layer, and the second magnetization layer; forming a sidewall metal layer by etching a portion of a redeposited metal covering a sidewall of the magnetic tunnel junction structure; performing an oxidizing operation that includes oxidizing an exposed surface of the sidewall metal layer to provide an oxidized sidewall metal layer; and performing an irradiating operation that includes irradiating an ion beam towards the oxidized sidewall metal layer. A sidewall insulating layer covering a sidewall of the magnetic tunnel junction structure is formed by alternately performing the oxidizing operation and the irradiating operation two or more times.
