Abstract:
A magneto-resistive effect (MR) element includes first and second magnetic layers where a relative angle formed by magnetization directions changes in response to an external magnetic field and a spacer layer positioned between the first magnetic layer and the second magnetic layer. The first magnetic layer is positioned closer to a substrate above which the MR element is formed than the second magnetic layer. The spacer layer includes a main spacer layer that is composed of gallium oxide as a primary component and a bottom layer that is positioned between the main spacer layer and the first magnetic layer and that is composed of partially oxidized copper as a primary component.
