Abstract
Magnetoelectronic device structures and methods for fabricating the same are provided. One method comprises forming a first and a second conductor. The first conductor is electrically coupled to an interconnect stack. A first insulating layer is deposited overlying the first conductor and the second conductor. A via is etched to substantially expose the first conductor. A protective capping layer is deposited by electroless deposition within the via and is electrically coupled to the first conductor. A magnetic memory element layer is formed within the via and overlying the second insulating layer and the second conductor.
