    摘要: A CPP giant magnetoresistive head includes lower and upper shield layers, and a giant magnetoresistive element disposed between the upper and lower shield layers and including a pinned magnetic layer, a free magnetic layer and a nonmagnetic layer disposed between the pinned magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer. In the CPP giant magnetoresistive head, the pinned magnetic layer extends to the rear of the nonmagnetic layer and the free magnetic layer in the height direction, and the dimension of the pinned magnetic layer in the height direction is larger than that in the track width direction. Also, the pinned magnetic layer comprises a magnetic material having a positive magnetostriction constant or a magnetic material having high coercive force, and the end of the pinned magnetic layer is exposed at a surface facing a recording medium.

    摘要: The present invention provides a magnetic detecting element including a pinned magnetic layer and a first antiferromagnetic layer which constitutes an exchange coupling film and the structures of which are optimized for properly pinning magnetization of the pinned magnetic layer, improving reproduction output and properly complying with a narrower gap, and a method of manufacturing the magnetic detecting element. The pinned magnetic layer has a synthetic ferrimagnetic structure, and the first antiferromagnetic layer has a predetermined space C formed at the center in the track width direction to produce exchange coupling magnetic fields only between the first antiferromagnetic layer and both side portions of a first magnetic layer of the pinned magnetic layer. Therefore, the magnetization of the pinned magnetic layer can be pinned, and an improvement in reproduction output and gap narrowing can be realized. Furthermore, a magnetic detecting element with high resistance to electrostatic damage (ESD) can be manufactured. Thus, a magnetic detecting element adaptable for a future higher recording density can be provided.

    摘要: An intermediate region is formed at a central portion of an element in a track width direction, and an antiferromagnetic layer is not provided at the intermediate region. Accordingly, a sense current can be prevented from being shunted to the intermediate region, and as a result, improvement in reproduction output and strength against magnetic electrostatic damage can be realized. In addition, since the thickness of the central portion of the element is decreased, trend toward narrower gap can be realized. Furthermore, since the direction of magnetization of a free magnetic layer is oriented in the track width direction by shape anisotropy, means for orienting the magnetization is not necessary, and hence the structure and manufacturing method of the element can be simplified.
