Abstract
An MRAM device may include an insulating interlayer structure, a lower electrode contact structure and a variable resistance structure. The insulating interlayer may be formed on a substrate. The lower electrode contact structure may extend through the insulating interlayer. The lower electrode contact structure may include a first electrode having a pillar shape and a second electrode having a cylindrical shape on the first electrode. An upper surface of the second electrode may have a ring shape. A variable resistance structure may be formed on the second electrode. The variable resistance structure may include a lower electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure and an upper electrode sequentially stacked.
