An antiferromagnetic layer is formed of a PtMn alloy which has high blocking temperature and further generates a great exchange coupling magnetic field with a first pinned magnetic layer. Further, by appropriately adjusting the film thickness ratio of the first pinned magnetic layer and a second pinned magnetic layer, the film thickness of a nonmagnetic electrically conductive layer and the antiferromagnetic layer, and so forth, an exchange coupling magnetic field of at least 500 (Oe) or greater, preferably 1,000 (Oe) or greater, can be obtained.
