    摘要: The series resistance of a CPP GMR stack can be reduced by shaping it into a small upper, on a somewhat larger, lower part. Because of the sub-micron dimensions involved, good alignment between these is normally difficult to achieve. The present invention discloses a self-alignment process based on first laying down a mask that will determine the shape of the top part. Ion beam etching is then initiated, the ion beam being initially applied from one side only at an angle to the surface normal. During etching, all material on the near side of the mask gets etched but, on the far side, only material that is outside the mask's shadow gets removed so, depending on the beam's angle, the size of the lower part is controlled and the upper part is precisely centrally aligned above it.

    摘要: As the critical dimensions of liftoff patterns grow smaller, it becomes increasingly more difficult to make liftoff resists that have the required resolution. This problem has been overcome by use of a combination of ion beam processing and ozone slimming to form lift-off patterns with undercuts from a single layer of photoresist. The ion beam process serves to harden the top portion of the resist while the ozone is used to oxidize and erode the lower portion resist sidewall to form the undercut.
