The magnetoresistance effect element having an MgO (magnesium oxide) layer provided between a ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer is manufactured by forming a film of the MgO layer in a film forming chamber in which a substance whose getter effect with respect to the oxidizing gas such as oxygen or water is large is adhered to the surfaces of components (an inner wall 37 of a film forming chamber in the interior of a first film forming chamber 21, inner walls of an adhesion preventing shield 36, a partitioning plate 22, a shutter or the like) provided in the chamber for forming the MgO layer. The substance having a large getter effect must simply be a substance whose value of oxygen gas adsorption energy is 145 kcal/mol or higher and, in particular, Ta (tantalum) as a substance which constitutes the magnetoresistance effect element is preferable.

    摘要: A magnetoresistance effect device has a fixed ferromagnetism layer, a free ferromagnetism layer, and a barrier layer sandwiched by these ferromagnetic layers. It is constituted so that CoFeB whose amount of addition of boron B (b: atomic %) is 21%≦b≦23% may be used for the free ferromagnetism layer. In the magnetic resistance effect element, a magnetostrictive constant does not change steeply near the magnetostrictive constant zero. A MR ratio is maintained to be high.
