A magnetoresistance effect film including a magnetically pinned layer, a non-magnetic intermediate layer and a magnetically free layer has sidewall layers covering at least side surfaces of the magnetically pinned layer and the non-magnetic intermediate layer. The sidewall layers are made of a high-resistance oxide, nitride, fluoride, boride, sulfide or carbide having a specular reflection effect against conduction electrons, thereby to prevent non-elastic scattering of electrons and missing of spin information on side surfaces of the magnetoresistance effect film.

Disclosed are a high-sensitivity and high-reliability magnetoresistance effect device (MR device) in which bias point designing is easy, and also a magnetic head, a magnetic head assembly and a magnetic recording/reproducing system incorporating the MR device. In the MR device incorporating a spin valve film, the magnetization direction of the free layer is at a certain angle to the magnetization direction of a second ferromagnetic layer therein when the applied magnetic field is zero. In this, the pinned magnetic layer comprises a pair of ferromagnetic films as antiferromagnetically coupled to each other via a coupling film existing therebetween. The device is provided with a means of keeping the magnetization direction of either one of the pair of ferromagnetic films constituting the pinned magnetic layer, and with a nonmagnetic high-conductivity layer as disposed adjacent to a first ferromagnetic layer on the side opposite to the side on which the first ferromagnetic layer is contacted with a nonmagnetic spacer layer. With that constitution, the device has extremely high sensitivity, and the bias point in the device is well controlled.
