    摘要: The invention provides a giant magneto-resistive effect device (CPP-GMR device) having the CPP (current perpendicular to plane) structure comprising a spacer layer, and a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer stacked one upon another with the spacer layer interposed between them, with a sense current applied in a stacking direction, wherein the spacer layer comprises a first nonmagnetic metal layer and a second nonmagnetic metal layer, each made of a nonmagnetic metal material, and a semiconductor oxide layer interposed between the first nonmagnetic metal layer and the second nonmagnetic metal layer, the semiconductor oxide layer that forms a part of said spacer layer contains zinc oxide as its main component wherein the main component zinc oxide contains an additive metal, and the additive metal is less likely to be oxidized than zinc. It is thus possible to keep the area resistivity of the device low as desired, and make the semiconductor oxide layer forming a part of the spacer layer thick while holding back any noise increase. This makes sure the excellent advantages that any variation of the area resistivity of the device is inhibited while the S/N is prevented from getting worse, and the reliability of film characteristics is much more improved.

    摘要: A magneto-resistive effect (MR) element includes first and second magnetic layers where a relative angle formed by magnetization directions changes in response to an external magnetic field and a spacer layer positioned between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer is positioned closer to a substrate above which the MR element is formed than the second magnetic layer. The spacer layer includes a main spacer layer that is composed of gallium oxide as a primary component and a bottom layer that is positioned between the main spacer layer and the first magnetic layer and that is composed of partially oxidized copper as a primary component.

    摘要: Provided is a method for manufacturing a thermally-assisted magnetic recording head including a light source unit with a light source and a slider with an optical system. The method comprises steps of: adhering by suction the light source unit with a back holding jig; moving the back holding jig, then aligning a light-emission center of the light source with a light-receiving end surface of the optical system in directions within a slider back surface of the slider; bringing the light source unit into contact with the slider back surface, with a suction surface of the back holding jig tilted from the normal to the slider back surface; applying a load to a load application surface of the unit substrate by a loading means to bring a joining surface of the light source unit into conformity with the slider back surface; and bonding the light source unit and the slider. This method can improve the conformity, thereby achieving adequately strong junction and adequately high accuracy in position.

    摘要: A free layer functions such that a magnetization direction changes depending on an external magnetic field, and is made up of a multilayer structure including a first Heusler alloy layer, and a fixed magnetization layer takes a form wherein an inner pin layer and an outer pin layer are stacked one upon another with a nonmagnetic intermediated layer sandwiched between them. The inner pin layer is made up of a multilayer structure including a second Heusler alloy layer. The first and second Heusler alloy layers are each formed by a co-sputtering technique using a split target split into at least two sub-targets in such a way as to constitute a Heusler alloy layer composition. When the Heusler alloy layer is formed, therefore, it is possible to bring up a film-deposition rate, improve productivity, and improve the performance of the device.
