Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a magnetic memory element array. A plurality of magnetic memory elements are formed on a substrate, and a dielectric fill layer such as SiO2 or SiNx is deposited over the magnetic memory element pillars. An ion milling is then performed at a high angle (at least 70 degrees) relative normal to remove topographic dielectric features from areas over the magnetic memory elements. Optionally, additional ion milling processes can be performed at increasing angles relative to normal until the dielectric material has been removed from the areas over the magnetic memory elements.

Claim (Index 7):
The method as in  claim 1 , wherein the magnetic memory element pillars are formed with hard mask layers at their top and wherein the dielectric layer is deposited at least to the level of the hard mask layer.
