    摘要: An integrated circuit device includes a substrate and a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ). The MTJ includes at least a pinned layer, a barrier layer, and a free layer. The MTJ is formed over a surface of the substrate. Of the pinned layer, the barrier layer, and the free layer, the free layer is formed first and is closest to the surface. This enables a spacer to be formed over a perimeter region of the free layer prior to etching the free layer. Any damage to the free layer that results from etching or other free layer edge-defining process is kept at a distance from the tunneling junction by the spacer.

    摘要: A storage device includes a first electrode, a stacked feature, a spacer and a barrier structure. The stacked feature is position over the first electrode, and includes a storage element and a second electrode over the storage element. The spacer is positioned on a sidewall of the stacked feature, the spacer having a notch positioned on a top surface of the spacer, in which the notch of the spacer has a surface which is continuous with a top surface of the stacked feature. The barrier structure is embedded in a lateral of the spacer. The barrier structure has a top extending upwards past a bottom of the notch.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a resistive random access memory (RRAM) cell having a bottom electrode that provides for efficient switching of the RRAM cell, and an associated method of formation. In some embodiments, the RRAM cell has a bottom electrode surrounded by a spacer and a bottom dielectric layer. The bottom electrode, the spacer, and the bottom dielectric layer are disposed over a lower metal interconnect layer surrounded by a lower inter-level dielectric (ILD) layer. A dielectric data storage layer having a variable resistance is located above the bottom dielectric layer and the bottom electrode, and a top electrode is disposed over the dielectric data storage layer. Placement of the spacer narrows the later formed bottom electrode, thereby improving switch efficiency of the RRAM cell.

    摘要: A semiconductor structure and a method for forming the same are provided. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure includes forming a bottom electrode layer over a substrate and forming a dielectric layer over the bottom electrode layer. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure further includes forming a top electrode layer over the dielectric layer and patterning the bottom electrode layer, the dielectric layer, and the top electrode layer to form a dielectric structure between a bottom electrode and a top electrode. The method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure further includes etching the bottom electrode from a sidewall of the bottom electrode to partially expose a bottom surface of the dielectric structure.
