Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a giant magnetoresistance effect element (hereinafter referred to as a CPP type giant magnetoresistance effect element) and a magnetic component and a magnetic device using the giant magnetoresistance effect element, which can exhibit giant magnetoresistance through a spin-related current in a vertical direction of the film surface effect. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, a giant magnetoresistance (GMR) effect element composed of a ferromagnetic layer / nonmagnetic metal layer / ferromagnetic layer is being developed. GMR is caused by spin-dependent scattering at the interface, and the magnetization of the two ferromagnetic layers is controlled to be parallel or antiparallel to each other by an external magnetic field, so that their resistances are different from each other.
[0003] GMR elements have been applied to magnetic sensors, reproduction heads of hard disk devices, and the like. In this case, the current f...
