摘要 |
A method is disclosed for magnetizing a magnetic system including a ferromagnetic layer magnetized in a first direction and an anti-ferromagnetic layer provided on said ferromagnetic layer in exchange coupling therewith. The method includes a first thermal annealing process including the sub-steps of annealing the magnetic system in a first annealing state, and applying a magnetic field to the magnetic system in a second direction different from the first direction, while maintaining the magnetic system in the first annealing state. A second thermal annealing process includes the sub-steps of annealing the magnetic system after the first thermal annealing process, to a second annealing state, and applying a magnetic field in a third direction different from the second direction while maintaining the magnetic system in the second annealing state.
