  • MRAM structure and method of fabricating the same
    Patent number: 11856870
    Abstract: A magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) structure includes a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ), and a top electrode which contacts an end of the MTJ. The top electrode includes a top electrode upper portion and a top electrode lower portion. The width of the top electrode upper portion is larger than the width of the top electrode lower portion. A bottom electrode contacts another end of the MTJ. The top electrode, the MTJ and the bottom electrode form an MRAM.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 21, 2022
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2023
    Assignee: UNITED MICROELECTRONICS CORP.

  • METHOD FOR FABRICATING INTERCONNECT OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
    Publication number: 20200168450
    Abstract: A method for fabricating interconnect of semiconductor device. The method includes providing a base substrate, having an inter-layer dielectric layer on top. A copper interconnect structure is formed in the inter-layer dielectric layer. A pre-sputter clean process is performed with hydrogen radicals on the copper interconnect structure. A degas process is sequentially performed on the copper interconnect structure. A cobalt cap layer is formed on the copper interconnect structure.
