Abstract

A semiconductor device structure is provided. The semiconductor device structure includes a semiconductor substrate and a magnetic element over the semiconductor substrate. The magnetic element has a first edge. The semiconductor device structure also includes an adhesive element between the magnetic element and the semiconductor substrate, and the adhesive element has a second edge. The semiconductor device structure further includes an isolation element extending across the magnetic element. The isolation element partially covers a top surface of the magnetic element and partially covers sidewall surfaces of the magnetic element. The isolation element has a third edge, and the second edge is closer to the third edge than the first edge. In addition, the semiconductor device structure includes a conductive line over the isolation element.
