    摘要: An electrode, an antiferromagnetic film, a ferromagnetic film, a nonmagnetic film, a ferromagnetic film, a tunnel insulating film, a ferromagnetic film, a first Ta film, a Ru film, and a second Ta film are formed in sequence on a substrate. The thickness of the second Ta film is about 0.5 nm. The second Ta film is naturally oxidized after being formed. Then, heat treatment to improve the characteristic of a TMR film is performed. The temperature of this heat treatment is approximately from 200° C. to 300° C. In a conventional manufacturing method, film peeling occurs in this heat treatment, and accompanying this, defects such as occurrence of holes and wrinkles further occur, but in the present method, such an occurrence of defects is prevented since the Ta film is formed at the uppermost surface. Subsequently, the Ta film and so on are patterned.
