Abstract
A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first forming a bottom electrode on a substrate, forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on the bottom electrode, and then forming a cap layer on the MTJ. Preferably, the formation of the cap layer could be accomplished by the following steps: (a) forming a first metal layer on the MTJ; (b) forming a second metal layer on the first metal layer; and (c) performing an oxidation process.
