ABSTRACT:
A method for manufacturing a magnetic memory device which includes a TMR element, and the method includes: a step of forming a lower wiring layer; a step of forming an interlayer insulating layer on the lower wiring layer; a step of forming an opening in the interlayer insulating layer so that the lower wiring layer is exposed; a step of forming a barrier metal layer so that the interlayer insulating layer and an inner surface of the opening are covered; a step of forming a metal layer on the barrier metal layer so that the opening is embedded; a polishing step of removing the metal layer on the barrier metal layer through polishing using the barrier metal layer as a stopper so that a wiring layer that includes a metal layer being embedded in the opening and the barrier metal layer is formed; and an element fabricating step of fabricating a TMR element on the wiring layer.
