<p>A screening method for a magnetoresistive storage device comprising a first magnetic body, and a storage element which stores data in the magnetization direction of the first magnetic body. The method is provided with a step of setting a magnetization direction of the first magnetic body; a step of applying a storage element with a first magnetic field which includes a component in a direction different from the directions of axis of easy magnetization and axis of hard magnetization of the first magnetic body, and opposite to the magnetization direction of the first magnetic body; a step of assessing a resistance of the storage element; a step of determining whether or not the storage element is defective, on the basis of the assessment result; and a step of storing and/or setting so that the storage element which has been determined as defective should not be used.</p> |
