Abstract:
One illustrative method disclosed herein includes forming an MRAM memory array and a plurality of peripheral circuits for an integrated circuit product above a semiconductor substrate, forming a patterned layer of a metal-containing shielding material above the substrate, the patterned layer of metal-containing shielding material covering the MRAM memory array while leaving an area above the plurality of peripheral circuits exposed, and, with the patterned layer of metal-containing shielding material in position, performing a silicon dangling bond passivation anneal process on the integrated circuit product.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein forming said patterned layer of shielding insulating material comprises:\n blanket-depositing a continuous layer of said shielding insulating material above said semiconductor substrate; forming a patterned etch mask above said continuous layer of shielding insulating material, said patterned etch mask covering a first portion of said continuous layer of shielding insulating material positioned above said MRAM memory array while exposing a second portion of said continuous layer of shielding insulating material above said plurality of peripheral circuits; and with said patterned etch mask in position, performing at least one etching process to remove said exposed second portion of said continuous layer of shielding insulating material so as to thereby form said patterned layer of shielding insulating material.
