Embodiment Construction
[0020]Embodiments of the present invention provide significant improvements in patterning uniformity and yield compared to conventional magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) techniques. The present embodiments employ negative-tone resist developer combined with a positive resist, or positive-tone developer and a negative resist, with a dark-field reticle to form an MRAM device. Devices produced according to the present embodiments provide uniformity as good as, or superior to, processes that are much more costly and complex. Furthermore, the present embodiments employ proven complementary metal oxide semiconductor manufacturing techniques, making them particularly practical.
[0021]Referring now to FIG. 1, a step in fabricating an MRAM cell is shown. A stack of dielectrics and metals is formed, from which an MRAM device will be etched. The stack may be formed by any appropriate deposition process, including for example chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and phy...
