Title:
TUNNEL MAGNETORESISTIVE EFFECT FILM AND MAGNETIC DEVICE USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/131394
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
According to the present invention, a tunnel magnetoresistive effect (TMR) element 11 that is able to properly operate in a high temperature environment, a high magnetic field environment and the like is provided with an exchange coupled film 10 that has a first ferromagnetic layer 31 which is at least a part of a fixed magnetic layer 3 and an antiferromagnetic layer 2 which is superposed on the first ferromagnetic layer 31. The antiferromagnetic layer 2 comprises an X(Cr-Mn) layer which contains Mn, Cr and one or more elements X that are selected from the group consisting of platinum group elements and Ni; the X(Cr-Mn) layer comprises a first region R1 that is relatively proximal to the first ferromagnetic layer 31 and a second region R2 that is relatively distal to the first ferromagnetic layer 31; and the Mn content in the first region R1 is higher than the Mn content in the second region R2.
