Abstract: In one aspect, a method of manufacturing a magnetoresistance (MR) element having layers include ramping up a temperature of a reference layer of the MR element to an annealing temperature of the reference layer by increasing an amplitude of laser pulses applied to the reference layer over time to an amplitude that corresponds to the annealing temperature of the reference layer; applying a magnetic field to the reference layer; and maintaining the amplitude of subsequent laser pulses over time that have the amplitude that corresponds to the annealing temperature of the reference layer until at least the reference layer is annealed.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes depositing a capping layer on a semiconductor device structure. The semiconductor device includes a plurality of tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) elements, a corresponding one hard mask on each TMR element, a metal layer, and a plurality of electroconductive vias directing connecting the TMR elements to the metal layer. The method further includes depositing an insulator on the capping layer, depositing a first photoresist on the insulator, patterning the first photoresist using photolithography to expose portions of the insulator, etching the exposed portions of the insulator and the hard masks to expose top surfaces of the TMR elements, stripping the first photoresist, and depositing a conducting material on the top surfaces of the TMR elements to form an electroconductive contact.

Abstract: A method includes depositing on a substrate a magnetoresistance stack, depositing a first hard mask on the magnetoresistance stack, depositing a first photoresist on the first hard mask, patterning the first photoresist to expose portions of the first hard mask, and etching the exposed portions of the first hard mask to expose a portion of the magnetoresistance stack. The method further includes stripping the first photoresist, etching the exposed portions of the magnetoresistance stack and the first hard mask to form a first intermediate structure having a base and a pillar structure, depositing an etch barrier on the first intermediate structure, and depositing a second hard mask on the etch barrier. A second photoresist is deposited on the second hard mask. The method further includes patterning the second photoresist to expose portions of the second hard mask, etching the exposed portions of the second hard mask, stripping the second photoresist, etching a portion of the second hard mask, a portion of the etch barrier and the base to form a second intermediate structure, and depositing a capping barrier on the second intermediate structure.
