Abstract: A semiconductor device and a method of forming the same are provided. The method includes forming a bottom electrode layer over a substrate. A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) layers are formed over the bottom electrode layer. A top electrode layer is formed over the MTJ layers. The top electrode layer is patterned. After patterning the top electrode layer, one or more process cycles are performed on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer. A patterned top electrode layer, patterned MTJ layers and a patterned bottom electrode layer form MTJ structures. Each of the one or more process cycles includes performing an etching process on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a first duration and performing a magnetic treatment on the MTJ layers and the bottom electrode layer for a second duration.

Abstract: A memory device includes a substrate, an etch stop layer, a protective layer, and a resistance switching element. The substrate has a memory region and a logic region, and includes a metallization pattern therein. The etch stop layer is over the substrate, and has a first portion over the memory region and a second portion over the logic region. The protective layer covers the first portion of the etch stop layer. The protective layer does not cover the second portion of the etch stop layer. The resistance switching element is over the memory region, and the resistance switching element is electrically connected to the metallization pattern through the etch stop layer and the protective layer.
