A magneto-resistive device has a magneto-resistive layer laminated between electrodes. The magneto-resistive layer has a non-magnetic layer, a pinned layer and a free layer sandwiching the non-magnetic layer, and a pin layer formed on the pinned layer on the opposite side to the free layer. The pin layer is formed in a region which substantially overlaps with an effective region in a film plane direction in which a current flows in a direction substantially perpendicular to the film plane between the electrodes in a predetermined thickness, and is formed in a region which does not substantially overlap with the effective region substantially in the same thickness as the predetermined thickness or in a thickness smaller than the predetermined thickness, continuous from the region which substantially overlaps with the effective region.
