A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on a substrate, forming a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on the MTJ, removing part of the first IMD layer to form a damaged layer on the MTJ and a trench exposing the damaged layer, performing a ultraviolet (UV) curing process on the damaged layer, and then conducting a planarizing process to remove the damaged layer and part of the first IMD layer.

Method for fabricating semiconductor device

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of: providing a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a MRAM region and a logic region; forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on the MRAM region; forming a top electrode on the MTJ; and then performing a flowable chemical vapor deposition (FCVD) process to form a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer around the top electrode and the MTJ.

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: providing a wafer-bonding stack structure having a sidewall layer and an exposed first component layer; forming a photoresist layer on the first component layer; performing an edge trimming process to at least remove the sidewall layer; and removing the photoresist layer. In this way, contaminant particles generated from the blade during the edge trimming process may fall on the photoresist layer but not fall on the first component layer, so as to protect the first component layer from being contaminated.

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes first forming a first magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) and a second MTJ on a substrate, performing an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process or a high-density plasma (HDP) process to form a passivation layer on the first MTJ and the second MTJ, performing an etching process to remove the passivation layer adjacent to the first MTJ and the second MTJ, and then forming an ultra low-k (ULK) dielectric layer on the passivation layer.

A semiconductor device includes a first magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) and a second MTJ on a substrate, a passivation layer on the first MTJ and the second MTJ, and an ultra low-k (ULK) dielectric layer on the passivation layer. Preferably, a top surface of the passivation layer between the first MTJ and the second MTJ is lower than a top surface of the passivation layer directly on top of the first MTJ.
