Abstract: A method of manufacturing a magnetoresistive random access memory, including forming a conductive plug in a substrate, forming a bottom electrode material layer, a magnetic tunnel junction material layer and a top electrode material layer on the substrate and the conductive plug, and performing an anisotropic etch process to pattern the bottom electrode material layer, the magnetic tunnel junction material layer and the top electrode material layer, thereby forming a magnetic memory cell on the conductive plug, wherein the anisotropic etch process overetches the conductive plug and the substrate so that a notched portion is formed on one side of an upper edge of the conductive plug, and depressed regions are formed on the substrate at two sides of the magnetic memory cell.

Abstract: A method for integrating a high-voltage device and a low-voltage device. A substrate having a patterned insulating layer is provided. A first isolation region and a second isolation region are formed on the substrate exposed by the patterned insulating layer. The second isolation region is located on the substrate in the scribe region. A patterned photoresist is formed over the substrate to expose a portion of the patterned insulating layer in the high-voltage device region and a portion of the second isolation region in the scribe region. A doped region is formed in the substrate under the portion of the patterned insulating layer exposed by the patterned photoresist. A trench is formed in the second isolation region exposed by the patterned photoresist in the scribe region. The patterned photoresist and the patterned insulating layer are removed in sequence. A drive-in process is performed to transform the doped region into a grade region.
