摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacturing a memory device. The method is performed by forming an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) layer over a substrate, and forming an opening within a dielectric protection layer over the ILD layer. A bottom electrode layer is formed within the opening and over the dielectric protection layer. A chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process is performed on the bottom electrode layer to form a bottom electrode structure having a planar upper surface and a projection that protrudes outward from a lower surface of the bottom electrode structure to within the opening. A memory element is formed over the bottom electrode structure, and a top electrode is formed over the memory element.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a an inter-layer dielectric (ILD) structure laterally surrounding a conductive interconnect. A dielectric protection layer is disposed over the ILD structure and a passivation layer is disposed over the dielectric protection layer. The passivation layer includes a protrusion extending outward from an upper surface of the passivation layer. A bottom electrode continuously extends from over the passivation layer to between sidewalls of the passivation layer. A data storage element is over the bottom electrode and a top electrode is over the data storage element.

摘要: The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes a dielectric protection layer disposed over a dielectric structure that laterally surrounds one or more conductive interconnect layers. The dielectric protection layer has a protrusion extending outward from an upper surface of the dielectric protection layer. A bottom electrode is disposed over the dielectric protection layer and has sidewalls extending outward from a lower surface of the bottom electrode through the dielectric protection layer. The bottom electrode has a substantially planar upper surface over the protrusion. A data storage element is over the substantially planar upper surface of the bottom electrode, and a top electrode is over the data storage element.

摘要: The disclosure is related a method for testing a magnetic memory device and a test apparatus are provided. In some exemplary embodiments, the method includes at least the following steps. The magnetic memory device is initialized by applying a first magnetic field to force write a first data to the magnetic memory device. Then, a second magnetic field is applied to the magnetic memory device. Second data may be obtained from the magnetic memory device by performing a chip probing process. Accordingly, performance of the magnetic memory device may be determined based on the second data.
