    摘要: An MR element in a CPP structure includes a spacer layer made of Cu, a magnetic pinned layer containing CoFe and a free layer containing CoFe that are laminated to sandwich the spacer layer. The free layer is located below the magnetic pinned layer. The free layer is oriented in a (001) crystal plane, the spacer layer is formed and oriented in a (001) crystal plane on the (001) crystal plane of the free layer. Therefore, in a low resistance area where an area resistivity (AR) of the MR element is, for example, lower than 0.3 Ω·μm2, an MR element that has a large variation of a resistance is obtained.

    摘要: A magnetoresistive device comprising a magnetoresistive unit, an upper shield layer and a lower shield shield layer stacked such that the magnetoresistive unit is held between them. The magnetoresistive unit comprises a nonmagnetic metal intermediate layer, a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer stacked with the nonmagnetic metal intermediate layer in the middle. When no bias magnetic field is applied, the first and second ferromagnetic layers have mutually antiparallel magnetizations. The magnetoresistive unit further comprises first and second side shield layers, and first and second biasing layers located to be magnetically coupled to the first and second side shield layers, wherein magnetic fluxes fed from the bias magnetic fields pass through the first and second side shield layers positioned in proximity to the magnetoresistive unit such that the magnetizations of the first and second ferromagnetic layers become substantially orthogonal to each other.

    摘要: The invention provides a magnetoresistive device with the CPP (current perpendicular to plane) structure, comprising a nonmagnetic intermediate layer, and a first ferromagnetic layer and a second ferromagnetic layer stacked and formed with said nonmagnetic intermediate layer interposed between them, with a sense current applied in the stacking direction, wherein each of said first and second ferromagnetic layers comprises a sensor area joining to the nonmagnetic intermediate layer near a medium opposite plane and a magnetization direction control area that extends further rearward (toward the depth side) from the position of the rear end of said nonmagnetic intermediate layer; a magnetization direction control multilayer arrangement is interposed at an area where the magnetization direction control area for said first ferromagnetic layer is opposite to the magnetization direction control area for said second ferromagnetic layer in such a way that the magnetizations of the said first and second ferromagnetic layers are antiparallel with each other along the width direction axis; and said sensor area is provided at both width direction ends with biasing layers working such that the mutually antiparallel magnetizations of said first and second ferromagnetic layers intersect in substantially orthogonal directions. It is thus possible to obtain a magnetoresistive device that, while the magnetization directions of two magnetic layers (free layers) stay stabilized, can have high reliability, and can improve linear recording densities by the adoption of a structure capable of narrowing the read gap (the gap between the upper and lower shields) thereby meeting recent demands for ultra-high recording densities.
