Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a substrate having a memory region and a logic region. A first dielectric layer is disposed on the substrate. A first conductive structure and a second conductive structure are formed in the first dielectric layer and respectively on the memory region and the logic region of the substrate. A memory cell is disposed on the first dielectric layer and directly contacts a top surface of the first conductive structure. A first cap layer is formed on the first dielectric layer and continuously covers a top surface and a sidewall of the memory cell and a top surface of the second conductive structure. A second dielectric layer is formed on the first cap. A third conductive structure is formed in the second dielectric layer and penetrates through the first cap layer to contacts the memory cell.
