Abstract:
A TMR element includes a lower electrode layer, a TMR multi-layer stacked on the lower electrode layer, and an upper electrode layer stacked on the TMR multi-layer. The TMR multi-layer includes a tunnel barrier layer having a three-layered structure of a first crystalline layer, a crystalline semiconductor layer and a second crystalline insulation layer stacked in this order.
