Abstract

A magnetic memory cell includes a substrate, a transistor, a first dielectric layer disposed on the substrate, a landing pad in the first dielectric layer, a second dielectric layer covering the first dielectric layer and the landing pad, a memory stack in the second dielectric layer, and a source line in the first dielectric layer. The first dielectric layer covers the transistor. The landing pad is situated in a first horizontal plane and is coupled to a drain region of the transistor. The memory stack has a bottom electrode connected to the landing pad and a top electrode electrically connected to a bit line. The source line is situated in a second horizontal plane and is connected to a source region of the transistor. The second horizontal plane and the first horizontal plane are not coplanar.
