ARTIFICIAL LATTICE FILM AND MAGNETORESISTIVE EFFECT ELEMENT USING ARTIFICIAL LATTICE FILM

摘要

PURPOSE: To provide an artificial lattice film, in which a high MR ratio is displayed and coercive force is inhibited, and a magnetoresistive effect element using the artificial lattice film. ;CONSTITUTION: Magnetic layers 2 containing 1-50 atomic % Cu and comprising at least one kind selected from Fe, Ni and Co and conductor layers 3 are Iaminated alternately, thus manufacturing an artificial lattice film. The artificial lattice film is formed onto a non-magnetic substrate 1, thus constituting a magnetoresistive effect element. Accordingly, the magnetoresistive effect element having excellent characteristics for a magnetic head and a magnetic sensor is obtained.;COPYRIGHT: (C)1995,JPO
