Abstract

See full text

A spin-valve magnetoresistive element includes a plurality of layers. The magnetic moment of a first pinned magnetic layer is smaller than the magnetic moment of a second pinned magnetic layer. In this case, a magnetic field of 100 to 1,000 Oe is applied in a direction opposite to the direction for which obtaining of magnetization for the first pinned magnetic layer is desired, or a magnetic field of 5 kOe or greater is applied in the same direction as the direction for which obtaining of magnetization for the first pinned magnetic layer is desired. Thus, a first magnetization of the first pinned magnetic layer and the magnetic moment of a second pinned magnetic layer can be maintained in an antiparallel state.
