Abstract
A semiconductor device and a method for fabricating the same. The semiconductor device includes a substrate and at least one trench line formed within the substrate. The semiconductor device further includes a self-aligned landing pad in contact with the at least one trench line, and a magnetic tunnel junction stack formed on and in contact with the self-aligned landing pad. The method includes forming a conductive layer on and in contact with at least one trench line formed within a substrate. Magnetic tunnel junction stack layers are deposited on and in contact with the conductive layer. The magnetic tunnel junction stack layers are etched to form a magnetic tunnel junction stack, where the etching stops on the conductive layer.
