摘要: A method of fabricating a magnetoresistive bit from a magnetoresistive stack includes (a) etching through at least a portion of a thickness of the surface region to create a first set of exposed areas in the form of multiple strips extending in a first direction, and (b) etching through at least a portion of a thickness of the surface region to create a second set of exposed areas in the form of multiple strips extending in a second direction. The first set of exposed areas and the second set of exposed areas may have multiple areas that overlap. The method may also include, (c) after the etching in (a) and (b), etching through at least a portion of the thickness of the magnetoresistive stack through the first set and second set of exposed areas.

摘要: A method of manufacturing an integrated circuit device comprises forming a layer of barrier material on a surface, where the surface includes interlayer dielectric and a feature of a metal layer. The method may also include forming a layer of contact material above the layer of barrier material. The method may further include removing a portion of the layer of barrier material and a portion of the layer of contact material to form a via. Additionally, the method may include depositing magnetoresistive stack above, and in contact with, the via, where a width of the magnetoresistive stack is greater than or equal to a width of the via.

摘要: Magnetoresistive device architectures and methods for manufacturing are presented that facilitate integration of process steps associated with forming such devices into standard process flows used for surrounding logic/circuitry. In some embodiments, the magnetoresistive device structures are designed such that the devices are able to fit within the vertical dimensions of the integrated circuit associated with a single metal layer and a single layer of interlayer dielectric material. Integrating the processing for the magnetoresistive devices can include using the same standard interlayer dielectric material as used in the surrounding circuits on the integrated circuit as well as using standard vias to interconnect to at least one of the electrodes of the magnetoresistive devices.
