An MTJ cell without footings and free from electrical short-circuits across a tunneling barrier layer is formed by using a Ta hard mask layer and a combination of etches. A first etch patterns the Ta hard mask, while a second etch uses O₂ applied in a single high power process at two successive different power levels. A first power level of between approximately 200 W and 500 W removes BARC, photoresist and Ta residue from the first etch, the second power level, between approximately 400 W and 600 W continues an etch of the stack layers and forms a protective oxide around the etched sides of the stack. Finally, an etch using a carbon, hydrogen and oxygen gas completes the etch while the oxide layer protects the cell from short-circuits across the lateral edges of the barrier layer.

A state of charge (SoC) a lithium-ion (Li+) battery is estimated at a time instant by first constructing a model of the Li+ battery based on a single particle operation. The model describes a relationship between the SoC, a charge current, a discharge current, and an output voltage. Using a nonlinear optimization, a function expressing a relationship between the SoC and an open circuit voltage is determined. The relationship is based on off-line measurements of the charge current, the discharge current, and the open-circuit voltage. Then, the SoC and parameters of the model are estimated concurrently, wherein the SoC and the parameters are based on the model, the function, and on-line measurements of the charge current, the discharge current, and the output voltage.
