ABSTRACT:
In the case where a laminated structure formed by laminating tunneling magnetoresistive films are processed by ion milling or the like, scattered substances of a material constituting the tunneling magnetoresistive film are deposited onto side walls of the laminated structure, or contaminate the inside of a device for processing. Accordingly, it has been difficult to manufacture a magnetic memory or a semiconductor device on which the magnetic memory is mounted, with stable characteristics.Side wall spacers are formed on side walls of a conductive layer arranged above a tunneling magnetoresistive film, and scattered substances of a material constituting the tunneling magnetoresistive film during processing are deposited. Thereafter, by removing the side wall spacers, the redepositions of the material are also removed. The side wall spacers used are of one kind or two kinds.
