A magneto-resistive device is improved in characteristics by removing a surface oxide film to reduce the resistance and reducing an ion beam damage. The magneto-resistive device has a magneto-resistive layer which comprises a tunnel barrier layer, an underlying pinned layer, and an overlying free layer. A non-magnetic layer is formed on the free layer for protection. A composite-layer film comprised of an insulating layer and a damage reducing layer is formed in contact with an effective region which is effectively involved in detection of magnetism in the magneto-resistive layer without overlapping with the effective region. The damage reducing layer is made of a material which includes at least one element, the atomic weight of which is larger than that of silicon. The insulating layer and damage reducing layer do not constitute a magnetic domain control layer for applying a biasing magnetic field to the free layer.

摘要:
A parasitic capacity C4 generated between a slider substrate and the first shield layer with the first insulating layer as a capacity layer is made substantially equal to a parasitic capacity C2 occurring between a lower magnetic layer and the second shield layer with the third insulating layer as a capacity layer. Preferably, a connection is made between the lower magnetic layer and the slider substrate by a resistance of preferably 100 (Ω) or lower. Thus, it is possible to provide a thin-film magnetic head that can hold back deterioration in a reproducing device and the occurrence of errors due to crosstalk between a recording device and the reproducing device and extraneous noises.
