    摘要: In a method for manufacturing a magnetic field sensing element including an electrode layer overlying a second antiferrogmagnetic layer and a first free magnetic layer where the electrode layer exposes a portion of the second magnetic layer, a portion of the second antiferromagnetic layer not covered with the electrode layer and a portion of the first free magnetic layer are removed using the electrode layer as a mask after laminating each layer to form a bottom type spin-valve thin film magnetic element, thereby enabling the first free magnetic layer to be endowed with a sufficient exchange coupling magnetic field by substantially eliminating the tapered portion of the remaining second antiferromagnetic layer thereby enabling the magnetization of the second free magnetic layer to be put into a single domain state.

    摘要: A magnetic sensing element includes a laminate, the laminate including a first antiferromagnetic layer; a pinned magnetic layer, the magnetization direction thereof being pinned by the first antiferromagnetic layer; a nonmagnetic conductive layer; a free magnetic layer, the magnetization direction thereof being variable in response to an external magnetic field; a nonmagnetic interlayer; a ferromagnetic layer; and a second antiferromagnetic layer. The laminate has a recess extending through the second antiferromagnetic layer and the ferromagnetic layer, a bottom face of the recess lying in the nonmagnetic interlayer, the width of the bottom face in a track width direction being equal to a track width. The free magnetic layer is magnetized in a direction substantially orthogonal to the magnetization direction of the pinned magnetic layer as a result of magnetic coupling with the ferromagnetic layer. A method for making such a magnetic sensing element is also disclosed.

    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.
