Abstract

A method for fabricating a semiconductor device includes the steps of forming a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) on a MRAM region of a substrate, forming a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer around the MTJ, forming a patterned mask on a logic region of the substrate, performing a nitridation process to transform part of the first IMD layer to a nitride layer, forming a first metal interconnection on the logic region, forming a stop layer on the first IMD layer, forming a second IMD layer on the stop layer, and forming a second metal intercom in the second IMD layer to connect to the MTJ.
