Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a magnetoresistive effect type of head that is high in the magnetoresistive rate while including the laminated ferrimagnetic film. The fixed magnetic layer of the magnetoresistive effect type of head has a first fixed magnetic layer, a second fixed magnetic layer laminated at a position farther from the free magnetic layer as compared with the first fixed magnetic layer, and an opposite-parallel-coupling intermediate layer interposed between the first fixed magnetic layer and the second fixed magnetic layer, in which magnetizations of the first and second fixed magnetic layers are coupled with one another in such a manner that the magnetizations are pointed in directions which are substantially parallel and mutually opposite. The second fixed magnetic layer is formed with a material that is different from a material of said first fixed magnetic layer, and has a resistivity higher than that of said first fixed magnetic layer.
