摘要： BEOL memory cells are described that include one or more sidewall protection layers on the memory device (including, for example, an MTJ element) deposited prior to interconnect via etching to prevent the formation of electrical shorts between layers. One embodiment uses a single layer sidewall protection sleeve that is deposited after the memory device has been patterned. The layer material is vertically etched down to expose the upper surface of the top electrode while leaving a residual layer of protective material surrounding the rest of the memory device. The material for the protection layer is selected to resist the etchant used to remove the first dielectric material from the via in the subsequent interconnect process. A second embodiment uses dual-layer sidewall protection in which the first layer covers the memory element is preferably an oxygen-free dielectric and the second layer protects the first layer during via etching.

摘要： Fabrication methods for MRAM are described wherein any re-deposited metal on the sidewalls of the memory element pillars is cleaned before the interconnection process is begun. In embodiments the pillars are first fabricated, then a dielectric material is deposited on the pillars over the re-deposited metal on the sidewalls. The dielectric material substantially covers any exposed metal and therefore reduces sources of re-deposition during subsequent etching. Etching is then performed to remove the dielectric material from the top electrode and the sidewalls of the pillars down to at least the bottom edge of the barrier. The result is that the previously re-deposited metal that could result in an electrical short on the sidewalls of the barrier is removed. Various embodiments of the invention include ways of enhancing or optimizing the process. The bitline interconnection process proceeds after the sidewalls have been etched clean as described.

摘要： Various embodiments of the invention relate to etching processes used in fabrication of MTJ cells in an MRAM device. The various embodiments can be used in combination with each other. The first embodiment adds a hard mask buffer layer between a hard mask and a top electrode. The second embodiment uses a multilayered etching hard mask. The third embodiment uses a multilayered top electrode structure including a first Cu layer under a second layer such as Ta. The fourth embodiment is a two-phase etching process used for the bottom electrode to remove re-deposited material while maintaining a more vertical sidewall etching profile. In the first phase the bottom electrode layer is removed using carbonaceous reactive ion etching until the endpoint. In the second phase an inert gas and/or oxygen plasma is used to remove the polymer that was deposited during the previous etching processes.

摘要： Use of a multilayer etching mask that includes a stud mask and a removable spacer sleeve for MTJ etching to form a bottom electrode that is wider than the rest of the MTJ pillar is described. The first embodiment of the invention described includes a top electrode and a stud mask. In the second and third embodiments the stud mask is a conductive material and also serves as the top electrode. In embodiments after the stud mask is formed a spacer sleeve is formed around it to initially increase the masking width for a phase of etching. The spacer is removed for further etching, to create step structures that are progressively transferred down into the layers forming the MTJ pillar. In one embodiment the spacer sleeve is formed by net polymer deposition during an etching phase.
