Magnetic memory device and method of fabricating the same

Abstract

A method of fabricating a magnetic memory device comprises forming, on a substrate, a data storage structure including a bottom electrode, a magnetic tunnel junction pattern, and a top electrode, forming a first capping dielectric layer conformally covering lateral and top surfaces of the data storage structure, and forming a second capping dielectric layer on the first capping dielectric layer. The forming the first capping dielectric layer is performed by PECVD in which a first source gas, a first reaction gas, and a first purging gas are supplied. The forming the second capping dielectric layer Is performed by PECVD in which a second source gas, a second reaction gas, and a second purging gas are supplied. The first and second reaction gases are different from each other. The first and second purging gases are different from each other.
