    • Embodiments herein provide a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) formed between metal layers of a semiconductor device. Specifically, provided is an approach for forming the semiconductor device using only one or two masks, the approach comprising: forming a first metal layer in a dielectric layer of the semiconductor device, forming a bottom electrode layer over the first metal layer, forming a MTJ over the bottom electrode layer, forming a top electrode layer over the MTJ, patterning the top electrode layer and the MTJ with a first mask, and forming a second metal layer over the top electrode layer. Optionally, the bottom electrode layer may be patterned using a second mask. Furthermore, in another embodiment, an insulator layer (e.g., manganese) is formed atop the dielectric layer, wherein a top surface of the first metal layer remains exposed following formation of the insulator layer such that the bottom electrode layer contacts the top surface of the first metal layer. By forming the MTJ between the metal layers using only one or two masks, the overall number of processing steps is reduced.
    • 本文的实施例提供了形成在半导体器件的金属层之间的磁性隧道结(MTJ)。 具体地,提供了仅使用一个或两个掩模形成半导体器件的方法,所述方法包括:在所述半导体器件的电介质层中形成第一金属层,在所述第一金属层上形成底部电极层,形成MTJ 在所述底部电极层上方,在所述MTJ上形成顶部电极层,用第一掩模图案化所述顶部电极层和所述MTJ,以及在所述顶部电极层上方形成第二金属层。 可选地,可以使用第二掩模对底部电极层进行图案化。 此外,在另一个实施例中,绝缘体层(例如,锰)形成在电介质层的顶部,其中第一金属层的顶表面在形成绝缘体层之后保持暴露,使得底部电极层接触绝缘层的顶表面 第一金属层。 通过仅使用一个或两个掩模在金属层之间形成MTJ,减少了处理步骤的总数。
