摘要: A method of forming self-aligned MRAM contacts is disclosed. stacks including an upper layer a conductive material are formed over portions integrated circuitry. An insulating the substrate, with material. The subsequently chemically mechanically polished or etched, stopping on material, to expose which used as contacts.
