Abstract

A semiconductor memory structure is provided. The semiconductor memory structure includes a bottom electrode formed over a substrate and a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) cell formed over the bottom electrode. The semiconductor memory structure also includes a top electrode formed over the MTJ cell; and a first sidewall spacer layer formed on a top surface of the MTJ cell and an outer sidewall surface of the top electrode.
