    摘要： An MR element includes an MR stack including a first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer, and a spacer layer disposed between the first and the second ferromagnetic layer. The MR stack has an outer surface, and the spacer layer has a periphery located in the outer surface of the MR stack. The magnetoresistive element further includes a layered film that touches the periphery of the spacer layer. The spacer layer includes a semiconductor layer formed using an oxide semiconductor as a material. The layered film includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer stacked in this order. The first layer is formed of the same material as the semiconductor layer, and touches the periphery of the spacer layer. The second layer is a metal layer that forms a Schottky barrier at the interface between the first layer and the second layer. The third layer is an insulating layer.

    摘要： The invention provides a magnetoresistive device with the CPP (current perpendicular to plane) structure, comprising a nonmagnetic intermediate layer, and a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer stacked and formed with said nonmagnetic intermediate layer interposed between them, with a sense current applied in the stacking direction, wherein each of said first and second ferromagnetic layers comprises a sensor area joining to the nonmagnetic intermediate layer near a medium opposite plane and a magnetization direction control area that extends further rearward (toward the depth side) from the position of the rear end of said nonmagnetic intermediate layer; a magnetization direction control multilayer arrangement is interposed at an area where the magnetization direction control area for said first ferromagnetic layer is opposite to the magnetization direction control area for said second ferromagnetic layer in such a way that the magnetizations of the said first and second ferromagnetic layers are antiparallel with each other along the width direction axis; and said sensor area is provided at both width direction ends with biasing layers working such that the mutually antiparallel magnetizations of said first and second ferromagnetic layers intersect in substantially orthogonal directions. It is thus possible to obtain a magnetoresistive device that, while the magnetization directions of two magnetic layers (free layers) stay stabilized, can have high reliability, and can improve linear recording densities by the adoption of a structure capable of narrowing the read gap (the gap between the upper and lower shields) thereby meeting recent demands for ultra-high recording densities.

    摘要： The invention provides a giant magneto-resistive effect device of the CPP (current perpendicular to plane) structure (CPP-GMR device) comprising a spacer layer, and a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer stacked together with said spacer layer sandwiched between them, with a sense current passed in the stacking direction, wherein the first ferromagnetic layer and the second ferromagnetic layer function such that the angle made between the directions of magnetizations of both layers change relatively depending on an external magnetic field, said spacer layer contains a semiconductor oxide layer, and a nitrogen element-interface protective layer is provided at a position where the semiconductor oxide layer forming the whole or a part of said spacer layer contacts an insulating layer. Thus, there is a nitride of high covalent bonding capability formed at the surface of junction between the semiconductor oxide layer and the interface protective layer, so that the migration of oxygen from the semiconductor oxide layer to the insulating layer is inhibited; even when the device undergoes heat and stress in the process, fluctuations and deteriorations of device characteristics are held back.

    摘要： The invention provides a magnetoresistive device of the CPP (current perpendicular to plane) structure, comprising a magnetoresistive unit, and a first, substantially soft magnetic shield layer positioned below and a second, substantially soft magnetic shield layer positioned above, which are located and formed such that the magnetoresistive effect is sandwiched between them from above and below, with a sense current applied in the stacking direction. The magnetoresistive unit comprises a nonmagnetic intermediate layer, and a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer stacked and formed such that said nonmagnetic intermediate layer is sandwiched between them. At least one of the first shield layer positioned below and the second shield layer positioned above is configured in a framework form having a planar shape (X-Y plane) defined by the width and length directions of the device. The framework has a front frame-constituting portion located on a medium opposite plane side in front and near where the magnetoresistive unit is positioned, and any other frame portion. The any other frame portion partially comprises a combination of a nonmagnetic gap layer with a bias magnetic field-applying layer. The bias magnetic field-applying layer is constructed by repeating the stacking of a multilayer unit at least twice or up to 50 times, wherein the multilayer unit comprises a nonmagnetic underlay layer and a high-coercive material layer. The nonmagnetic gap layer is designed and located such that a magnetic flux given out of the bias magnetic field-applying layer is efficiently sent out to the front frame-constituting portion. The combination of the nonmagnetic gap layer with the bias magnetic field-applying layer forms a closed magnetic path with a magnetic flux going all the way around the framework, and turns the magnetization of the front frame-constituting portion into a single domain. It is thus possible to make the domain control of the shield layers much more stable, achieve remarkable improvements in resistance to an external magnetic field, and make the operation of the device much more reliable.

    摘要： The invention provides a magneto-resistive effect device of the CPP (current perpendicular to plane) structure, comprising a magneto-resistive effect unit, and a first shield layer and a second shield layer located and formed such that the magneto-resistive effect unit is sandwiched between them, with a sense current applied in a stacking direction. The magneto-resistive effect unit comprises a nonmagnetic intermediate layer, and a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer stacked and formed such that the nonmagnetic intermediate layer is interposed between them. The first shield layer, and the second shield layer is controlled by magnetization direction control means in terms of magnetization direction, and the first ferromagnetic layer, and the second ferromagnetic layer receives action such that there is an antiparallel magnetization state created, in which mutual magnetizations are in opposite directions, under the influences of magnetic actions of the first shield layer and the second shield layer. It is thus possible to achieve an antiparallel magnetization state for two ferromagnetic layers (free layers) with simple structure yet without being restricted by the material and specific structure of an intermediate film interposed between the two ferromagnetic layers (free layers). Further, it is possible to make improvements in linear recording densities by the adoption of a structure capable of making the “read gap length” (the gap between the upper and lower shield layers) short (narrow) thereby meeting recent demands for ultra-high recording densities. Furthermore, it is possible to obtain stable magneto-resistive effect changes so that much higher reliability is achievable.
