    摘要: A ferromagnetic tunnel junction is disclosed. The ferromagnetic tunnel junction includes a pinned magnetic layer, a tunnel insulating film formed on the pinned magnetic layer, and a free magnetic multilayer body formed on the tunnel insulating film. The free magnetic multilayer body includes a first free magnetic layer, a diffusion barrier layer, and a second free magnetic layer stacked in this order on the tunnel insulating film. The first free magnetic layer and the second free magnetic layer are ferromagnetically coupled with each other. The diffusion barrier layer inhibits the additive element contained in the first free magnetic layer from diffusing into the second free magnetic layer.

    摘要: The magnetic sensor comprise a multi-layer structure 10 including a ferromagnetic layer 12 of FeCo alloy, an insulation layer 14 of Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and a compound semiconductor layer 16 of GaAs. Circularly polarized light is irradiated to the compound semiconductor layer 16 to generate electrons. A dc voltage is applied to the ferromagnetic layer 12 and the compound semiconductor layer 16 by a dc power source 20 while circularly polarized light is irradiated to the compound semiconductor layer 16. When a direction of an external magnetic field changes, a magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic layer 12 accordingly changes, and a magnetoresistance between the ferromagnetic layer 12 and the compound semiconductor layer 16 changes. Changes of the magnetoresistance are measured by a voltmeter 22.

    摘要: An electrode, an antiferromagnetic film, a ferromagnetic film, a nonmagnetic film, a ferromagnetic film, a tunnel insulating film, a ferromagnetic film, a first Ta film, a Ru film, and a second Ta film are formed in sequence on a substrate. The thickness of the second Ta film is about 0.5 nm. The second Ta film is naturally oxidized after being formed. Then, heat treatment to improve the characteristic of a TMR film is performed. The temperature of this heat treatment is approximately from 200° C. to 300° C. In a conventional manufacturing method, film peeling occurs in this heat treatment, and accompanying this, defects such as occurrence of holes and wrinkles further occur, but in the present method, such an occurrence of defects is prevented since the Ta film is formed at the uppermost surface. Subsequently, the Ta film and so on are patterned.
