Abstract

The invention provides a method of manufacturing a magnetic tunnel junction. A multiple oxidation and ion beam etching process is adopted, formation of a short circuit passage between a memory layer and a reference layer of a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) is completely eliminated, enhancement of the magnetic properties, the electrical properties and the product yield of the MRAM loop is facilitated, and the method can be used for manufacturing a structural unit of a super small magnetic random access memory.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to integrated circuit manufacturing technology, in particular to a method for manufacturing an ultra-small magnetic random access memory structure unit, and belongs to the field of magnetic random access memory (MRAM, Magnetic Radom Access Memory) manufacturing technology. Background technique [0002] In recent years, MRAM using Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) is considered to be the future solid-state non-volatile memory, which has the characteristics of high-speed reading and writing, large capacity and low energy consumption. Ferromagnetic MTJ is usually a sandwich structure, which has a magnetic memory layer, which can change the magnetization direction to record different data; an insulating tunnel barrier layer in the middle; a magnetic reference layer, located on the other side of the tunnel barrier layer, which The direction of magnetization remains unchanged. [0003] In order to record information in this magnetoresisti...
