Abstract
【解決手段】磁気トンネル接合デバイスは、パターニング配線層402の上に、磁気トンネル接合(MTJ)積層物を形成する。その上に低伝導率層416および導電ハード・マスク418を形成する。低伝導率層416とは異なる電気伝導率を含むスペーサ材料420を堆積する。スペーサ材料420をエッチングして、ハード・マスク418およびスタッドの側壁上のみにスペーサ材料が残るようにする。エッチング・プロセスを実行して、低伝導率層416の周りに、自由磁性層412と導電ハード・マスク418との間の導電リンクとして、側壁スペーサ材料416を残す。スタッドとスペーサ材料420との間の電気伝導率の差によって、自由層412の縁部に沿った、側壁上に形成されたスペーサ材料420を通る電流が増大する。
