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 16):
The method of  claim 14  further comprising:\n forming a first spacer layer over the first electrically conductive layer, the first spacer layer extending along sidewalls of each of the first magnetic layer, the insulator layer, and the second magnetic layer.
