Abstract

A method of fabricating a cladding region for use in MRAM devices includes the formation of a conductive bit line proximate to a magnetoresistive memory device. The conductive bit line is immersed in a first bath containing dissolved ions of a first conductive material for a time sufficient to displacement plate a first barrier layer on the conductive line. The first barrier layer is then immersed in an electroless plating bath to form a flux concentrating layer on the first barrier layer. The flux concentrating layer is immersed in a second bath containing dissolved ions of a second conductive material for a time sufficient to displacement plate a second barrier layer on the flux concentrating layer.
