Abstract:
A method of fabricating a magnetoresistive bit from a magnetoresistive stack includes etching through a first portion of the magnetoresistive stack using a first etch process to form one or more sidewalls. At least a portion of the sidewalls includes redeposited material after the etching. The method also includes modifying at least a portion of the redeposited material on the sidewalls, and etching through a second portion of the magnetoresistive stack after the modifying step. The magnetoresistive stack may include a first magnetic region, an intermediate region disposed over the first magnetic region, and a second magnetic region disposed over the intermediate region.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein both the first etch process and the second etch process use ion beams for etching, and wherein (a) in the first etch process, the ion beams are inclined at an angle between about 0\u00b0 and less than about 30\u00b0 with respect to an axis normal to a surface of the magnetoresistive stack, and (b) in the second etch process, the ion beams are inclined at an angle between about 30\u00b0 and less than 90\u00b0 with respect to the axis.
