Magnetoresistive element having a first antiferromagnetic layer contacting a pinned magnetic layer and a second antiferromagnetic layer contacting a free magnetic layer |
摘要 |
A second antiferromagnetic layer formed on a free magnetic layer has a blocking temperature lower than that of a first antiferromagnetic layer. The exchange anisotropic magnetic field between the free magnetic layer and the second antiferromagnetic layer is smaller than the exchange anisotropic magnetic field between the first antiferromagnetic layer and the pinned magnetic layer. By applying an annealing treatment utilizing the blocking temperature difference between the first and second antiferromagnetic layers, the magnetization direction and the strength of the pinned magnetic layer and the free magnetic layer can be controlled appropriately.
