    摘要: An exchange-coupling film has an antiferromagnetic film consisting of an antiferromagnetic alloy such as an RMn alloy or an RMnFe alloy (R is at least one kind of element selected from Ir, Rh, Pt, Au, Ag, Co, Pd, Ni, Cr, Ge, Ru and Cu) and a ferromagnetic film stacked with the antiferromagnetic film. The antiferromagnetic film is oriented in its plane. Further, the antiferromagnetic film has a large grain diameter of such as 5 nm or more. The antiferromagnetic film can be obtained by forming a film with an alloy target of which oxygen content is 1% by weight or less. An exchange-coupling film using such an antiferromagnetic film has exchange-coupling force enough large at room temperature and high temperature region together with excellent corrosion resistance or heat resistance. The exchange-coupling film is provided with an electrode for energizing an electric current to the ferromagnetic film and is used as, for example, a spin valve type magneto-resistance effect element.

    摘要: A magnetoresistance effect device comprises a magnetic multi-layer film having at least an antiferromagnetic film, a first ferromagnetic film, a non-magnetic film, and a second ferromagnetic film formed in the order on the front surface portion of the substrate, the magnetic multi-layer film having giant magnetoresistance effect, at least the second ferromagnetic film having a shape corresponding to a magnetic field detecting portion. The bias magnetic field applying films are disposed on a conductive film of the magnetic multi-layer film at outer portions of both edge portions of the magnetic field detecting portion of the magnetoresistance effective film. Alternatively, the second ferromagnetic film has a first portion corresponding to the magnetic field detecting portion and a second portion corresponding to the outer portions of both the edge portions of the magnetic field detecting portion, the film thickness-of the second portion being smaller than the film thickness of the first portion. The bias magnetic field applying films are formed at the outer portions of both the edge portions of the magnetic field detecting portion of the second ferromagnetic film. With the reversely structured magnetoresistance effect film and the laminate positions of the bias magnetic field applying films, in addition to suppressing the reproduction fringe and Barkhausen noise, the decrease of contact resistance, the suppression of insulation detect, and good linear response characteristic can be accomplished.
