A method of manufacturing a magnetoresistive stack/structure comprising (a) etching through a second magnetic region to (i) provide sidewalls of the second magnetic region and (ii) expose a surface of a dielectric layer, (b) depositing a first encapsulation layer on the sidewalls of the second magnetic region and over a surface of the dielectric layer, (c) thereafter: (i) etching the first encapsulation layer which is disposed over the dielectric layer using a first etch process, and (ii) etching re-deposited material using a second etch process, wherein, after such etching, a portion of the first encapsulation layer remains on the sidewalls of the second magnetic region, (d) etching (i) through the dielectric layer to form a tunnel barrier and provide sidewalls thereof and (ii) etching the first magnetic region to provide sidewalls thereof, and (e) depositing a second encapsulation layer on the sidewalls of the tunnel barrier and first magnetic region.
