Abstract:
Integrated circuits and methods for fabricating integrated circuits with magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structures are provided. An exemplary method for fabricating an integrated circuit includes forming a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure and conformally forming a metal oxide encapsulation layer over and around the MTJ structure. The method further includes removing a portion of the metal oxide encapsulation layer over MTJ structure. Also, the method includes forming a conductive via over and in electrical communication with the top surface of the MTJ structure.

Claim (Index 18):
A structure comprising:\n a passivation layer; a dielectric layer on the passivation layer, the dielectric layer having an uppermost surface; a conductive contact layer located in an opening in the dielectric layer and the passivation layer, the conductive contact layer having an uppermost surface including a central portion and outer portions; a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) structure overlying the central portion of the conductive contact layer, the MTJ structure having a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a top surface extending from the first sidewall to the second sidewall; a conductive via over and in direct contact with the central portion of the MTJ structure; and a titanium oxide encapsulation layer on the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the top surface of the MTJ structure, on the outer portions of the uppermost surface of the conductive contact layer, and on the uppermost surface of the dielectric layer.
