Title:
MAGNETORESISTANCE EFFECT ELEMENT AND MAGNETIC MEMORY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2003/085750
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Reading characteristics, as well as writing characteristics, are improved by applying a more-novel-than-ever material to a ferromagnetic layer. A magnetoresistance effect element comprising a pair of ferromagnetic layers facing each other via an intermediate layer and being able to change reluctance by running current vertically to a film surface, wherein at least one of the ferromagnetic layers includes a ferromagnetic material containing Fe, Co and B. The ferromagnetic material preferably contain FeaCobNicBd (in the formula, a, b, c and d denote atomic %. 5≤a≤45, 35≤b≤85, 0
