Abstract
A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of: forming a first magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) and a second MTJ on a substrate; forming a first top electrode on the first MTJ and a second top electrode on the second MTJ; forming a cap layer on the first MTJ and the second MTJ; forming a passivation layer on the cap layer; removing part of the passivation layer to form a recess between the first MTJ and the second MTJ; forming an anti-reflective layer on the passivation layer and filling the recess; and removing the anti-reflective layer, the passivation layer, and the cap layer to form a first contact hole.
