    Abstract: A method for contacting an electrically conductive layer overlying a magnetoelectronics element includes forming a memory element layer overlying a dielectric region. A first electrically conductive layer (26) is deposited overlying the memory element layer (18). A first dielectric layer (28) is deposited overlying the first electrically conductive layer (26) and is patterned and etched to form a first masking layer (28). Using the first masking layer (28), the first electrically conductive layer (26) is etched. A second dielectric layer (36) is deposited overlying the first masking layer (28) and the dielectric region. A portion of the second dielectric layer (36) is removed to expose the first masking layer (28). The second dielectric layer (36) and the first masking layer (28) are subjected to an etching chemistry such that the first masking layer (28) is etched at a faster rate than the second dielectric layer (36). The etching exposes the first electrically conductive layer (26).

    Abstract: Structures for electrical communication with an overlying electrode for a semiconductor element and methods for fabricating such structures are provided. The structure (10) for electrical communication with an overlying electrode comprises a first electrode (50) having a lateral dimension, a semiconductor element (14) overlying the first electrode, and a second electrode (30) overlying the semiconductor element. The second electrode (30) has a lateral dimension that is less than the lateral dimension of the first electrode (50). A conductive hardmask (42) overlies the second electrode and is in electrical communication with the second electrode. The conductive hardmask (42) has a lateral dimension that is substantially equal to the lateral dimension of the first electrode. A conductive contact element (56) is in electrical communication with the conductive hardmask.
