Abstract
An MRAM cell has a bottom electrode, a metal tunneling junction, and a top electrode. The metal tunneling junction has a side surface between the bottom electrode and the top electrode. A thin layer on the side surface includes one or more compounds of a metal found in one of the electrodes. The thin layer has a lower conductance than the MTJ. The electrode metal may have been deposited on the side during MTJ patterning and subsequently been reacted to from a compound having a lower conductance than a nitride of the electrode metal. The thin layer may include an oxide deposited over the redeposited electrode metal. The thin layer may include a compound of the electrode metal deposited over the redeposited electrode metal. A silicon nitride spacer may be formed over the thin layer without forming nitrides of the electrode metal.
