MAGNETO-RESISTANCE EFFECT ELEMENT, MAGNETIC HEAD, MAGNETIC HEAD ASSEMBLY, MAGNETIC RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MAGNETO-RESISTANCE EFFECT ELEMENT

摘要

According to one embodiment, a magneto-resistance effect element includes: a first shield; a second shield; a first side shield layer; a second side shield layer; a stacked body; a first shield guide layer; and a second shield guide layer. The first shield guide layer includes a fifth magnetic layer provided between the first side shield layer and the stacked body. The second shield guide layer includes a sixth magnetic layer provided between the second side shield layer and the stacked body. A distance between the first side shield layer and the first shield guide layer is shorter than a distance between the stacked body and the first shield guide layer. A distance between the second side shield layer and the second shield guide layer is shorter than a distance between the stacked body and the second shield guide layer.
