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 17):
A method of fabricating a magnetoresistive bit from a magnetoresistive stack including (i) a first magnetic region, (ii) a dielectric region disposed over the first magnetic region, and (iii) a second magnetic region disposed over the dielectric region, the method comprising:\n using a first etch process to etch a first portion of the magnetoresistive stack and form one or more sidewalls, wherein at least a portion of the sidewalls includes redeposited material after the first etch process; exposing the magnetoresistive stack to a chemical process to render at least a portion of the redeposited material on the sidewalls electrically nonconductive after etching the first portion; and etching through a second portion of the magnetoresistive stack after exposing the magnetoresistive stack to the chemical process.
