Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/117664
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A magnetoresistance effect element (10) is provided with the following: a reference layer (12) which is made of a ferromagnetic material, and the direction of magnetization of which is oriented toward a film surface direction; a recording layer (14) which is made of a ferromagnetic material, and the direction of magnetization of which is oriented toward the film surface direction; and a barrier layer (13) that is interposed between the reference layer (12) and the recording layer (14). The film thickness of the recording layer (14), or the length of the short axis of the recording layer (14), is greater than 0.3, and due to this configuration, a performance index of 1.5 µA-1 or greater can be achieved.
