Abstract
A giant magnetoresistive sensor which is improved in reproduction output and peak asymmetry of read-back waveform. It is composed of a first free ferromagnetic film, a first non-magnetic film, a composite ferromagnetic film, a second non-magnetic film, and a second free ferromagnetic film, which are laminated sequentially, but has no antiferromagnetic film to fix said composite ferromagnetic film, and said composite ferromagnetic film contains a first, second, and third ferromagnetic film, which are antiferromagnetically coupled with one another, and also contains films which separate said ferromagnetic films from one another and antiferromagnetically couple them with one another.
