A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of forming an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on a substrate, forming a trench in the IMD layer, forming a synthetic antiferromagnetic (SAF) layer in the trench, forming a metal layer on the SAF layer, planarizing the metal layer and the SAF layer to form a metal interconnection, and forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on the metal interconnection.

Semiconductor device and method for fabricating the same

A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) region and a logic region, a first metal interconnection on the MRAM region, a second metal interconnection on the logic region, a stop layer extending from the first metal interconnection to the second metal interconnection, and a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on the first metal interconnection. Preferably, the stop layer on the first metal interconnection and the stop layer on the second metal interconnection have different thicknesses.

Magnetoresistive random access memory

A MRAM includes a plurality of memory cells, an operation unit, a voltage generator, and an input/output circuit. The operation unit includes multiple groups of memory cells among the plurality of memory cells. The voltage generator is configured to provide a plurality of control signals by voltage-dividing a voltage control signal and selectively output the plurality of control signals to the input/output circuit. The input/output circuit is configured to output a plurality of switching pulse signals to the multiple groups of memory cells according to the plurality of control signals, wherein each switching pulse signal differs in pulse width or level.
