Abstract
A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of forming an inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on a substrate, forming a metal interconnection in the IMD layer, forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on the metal interconnection, and performing a trimming process to shape the MTJ. Preferably, the MTJ includes a first slope and a second slope and the first slope is less than the second slope.
