Abstract:
Techniques are disclosed for forming a logic device including integrated spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive random-access memory (STT-MRAM). In accordance with some embodiments, one or more magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices may be formed within a given back-end-of-line (BEOL) interconnect layer of a host logic device. A given MTJ device may be formed, in accordance with some embodiments, over an electrically conductive layer configured to serve as a pedestal layer for the MTJ's constituent magnetic and insulator layers. In accordance with some embodiments, one or more conformal spacer layers may be formed over sidewalls of a given MTJ device and attendant pedestal layer, providing protection from oxidation and corrosion. A given MTJ device may be electrically coupled with an underlying interconnect or other electrically conductive feature, for example, by another intervening electrically conductive layer configured to serve as a thin via, in accordance with some embodiments.

Claim (Index 3):
The integrated circuit of  claim 2  further comprising a second electrically conductive layer under the first electrically conductive layer, wherein the second electrically conductive layer:\n comprises one or more of titanium, tantalum, ruthenium, cobalt, tungsten, tantalum nitride, titanium and nitrogen, and titanium zirconium and nitrogen; and \n has a y-thickness in the range of about 1-50 nm.
