Abstract

By using a free layer that includes a NiFe layer containing between 65 and 72 atomic percent iron, an improved CPP GMR device has been created. The resulting structure yields a higher CPP GMR ratio than prior art devices, while maintaining free layer softness and acceptable magnetostriction. A process for manufacturing the device is also described.
