Abstract:
A magnetoresistive device includes first and second ferromagnetic regions and an intermediate region formed of a dielectric material between the first and second ferromagnetic regions. A surface of the intermediate region at an interface between the intermediate region and at least one of the first and second ferromagnetic regions may be a plasma treated surface.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of manufacturing a magnetoresistive device, comprising:\n forming a first ferromagnetic region; forming an oxidizable region on or above the first ferromagnetic region, wherein the oxidizable region includes at least one layer of an oxidizable material, and wherein the oxidizable material includes one of magnesium or aluminum; oxidizing the at least one layer of the oxidizable material to form a dielectric material, wherein the oxidizing includes performing at least one of natural oxidation or plasma oxidation to form the dielectric material; plasma treating a surface of the dielectric material, wherein the plasma treating includes exposing the surface to a plasma in an atmosphere having less than or equal to about half an oxygen concentration as compared to the oxygen concentration during the oxidizing; and forming a second ferromagnetic region on or above the plasma treated surface.
