Abstract

The invention provides a bottom electrode contact of a magnetic random access memory and a preparation method thereof. The bottom electrode contact is made on a metal connection line to replace a copper through hole, and the bottom electrode contact material is non-copper metal. The method comprises the following steps: step 1: polishing the surface of the substrate with metal connections, and sequentially forming an etching stopper layer and a dielectric layer on the substrate; step 2: defining a bottom electrode contact pattern graphically on the dielectric layer, etching to form a bottom electrode Electrode contact hole; step 3: filling the bottom electrode contact hole with bottom electrode contact material and grinding until part of the dielectric layer is consumed, thus forming the bottom electrode contact. Since the magnetic tunnel junction and its bottom electrode are fabricated on the surface-polished bottom electrode contact, this effectively avoids the copper pollution and copper diffusion caused by directly fabricating the magnetic tunnel junction in the copper via hole, which is very beneficial to the magnetic field. The optimization and improvement of the electrical performance of the random access memory circuit and the miniaturization of the device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a bottom electrode contact (BEC, Bottom ElectrodeContact) of a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of magnetic random access memory (MRAM) manufacturing. Background technique [0002] In recent years, MRAM using magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) has been considered as 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 magnetoresistive element, a writing method based on spin-mom...
