    摘要: The invention is devised to provide a magnetoresistive element that is hardly susceptible to harmful influence of unnecessary magnetic fields and noise of heat even when reduction in size is achieved to be adaptable to higher recording density, and therefore that is excellent in operational reliability. The magnetoresistive element includes a stacked structure including, in order: a magnetically pinned layer whose magnetization direction is fixed in a given direction; a non-magnetic layer; a magnetically free layer whose magnetization direction changes according to an external magnetic field; and an antiferromagnetic bias layer exchange-coupled with the magnetically free layer. The exchange-coupling magnetic field between the magnetically free layer and the antiferromagnetic bias layer is smaller than a saturation magnetic field of the magnetically free layer.

    摘要: A reticle having a convex portion and a concave portion is used to form a convex portion and concave portion in the resist pattern for magnetic detection element and conductive layer, respectively. Then, with each resist pattern as a mask, unnecessary portions are removed to determine an initial height and to form a convex portion and concave portion in the magnetic detection element layer and in the conductive layer, respectively. Then, based on a ratio between widths of the convex portion and of the concave portion of the magnetic detection element layer, a deviation of the magnetic detection element layer is obtained, and a deviation of the conductive layer is obtained in a similar way, and based on these deviations the medium facing surface is ground with the conductive layer as a resistance sensor so that the height of the magnetic detection element layer be a desired value.

    摘要: A thin film magnetic head comprises a lower magnetic shield layer and an upper magnetic shield layer which are mutually opposed in the layering direction, a magnetoresistance effect element having a free layer, and a bias-applying layer which applies a bias magnetic field to the magnetoresistance effect element. The free layer is positioned between the lower magnetic shield layer and the upper magnetic shield layer, and is positioned on the side of the media-opposed surface. The bias-applying layer has a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion and the second portion are positioned at a distance in the track width direction so as to enclose the magnetoresistance effect element therebetween. The third portion is positioned either between the magnetoresistance effect element and the lower magnetic shield layer or between the magnetoresistance effect element and the upper magnetic shield layer, and connects the first portion and the second portion.
