Abstract
A method of manufacturing one or more interconnects to a magnetoresistive structure, the method comprising depositing a first conductive material (i) in a via which is formed through a first surface of a first dielectric layer and (ii) directly on the first surface of the first dielectric layer. The method further includes etching the first conductive material wherein, after etching the first conductive material, a portion of the first conductive material remains (i) in the via and (ii) directly on the first surface of the first dielectric layer. The method also includes partially filling the via by depositing a second conductive material (i) in the via and (ii) directly on the first conductive material remaining in the via, depositing a first electrode material (i) in the via and (ii) directly on the second conductive material which is in the via, and forming a magnetoresistive structure over the first electrode material.
