Abstract: Disclosed are a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same. The semiconductor device comprises a substrate including a cell region and a peripheral region, a magnetic tunnel junction pattern on the cell region, a capping insulation layer covering a sidewall of the magnetic tunnel junction pattern, and an upper insulation layer including a first portion on the capping insulation layer and a second portion on the peripheral region. A level of a bottom surface of the second portion is lower than that of a bottom surface of the capping insulation layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a gate structure on a substrate, source and drain contacts respectively on opposite sides of the gate structure and connected to the substrate, a magnetic tunnel junction connected to the drain contact, a first conductive line connected to the source contact, and a second conductive line connected to the first conductive line through a first via contact. The second conductive line is distal to the substrate in relation to the first conductive line. The first and second conductive lines extend in parallel along a first direction. The first and second conductive lines have widths in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The widths of the first and second conductive lines are the same. The first via contact is aligned with the source contact along a third direction perpendicular to a top surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A method of fabricating a semiconductor device includes forming a magnetic tunnel junction layer including a first magnetic layer, a second magnetic layer, and a tunnel barrier layer interposed between the first and second magnetic layers, patterning the magnetic tunnel junction layer to form a magnetic tunnel junction pattern, forming an insulating layer to cover the magnetic tunnel junction pattern, and performing a thermal treatment process to crystallize at least a portion of the first and second magnetic layers. The thermal treatment process may include performing a first thermal treatment process at a first temperature, after the forming of the magnetic tunnel junction layer, and performing a second thermal treatment process at a second temperature, which is higher than or equal to the first temperature, after the forming of the insulating layer.
