Abstract
Magnetoresistive effect elements Rto Rare a TMR element or CPP-GMR element. A multilayer film forming the magnetoresistive effect elements is formed to have a width dimension Tand a length dimension Lperpendicular to the width dimension T. The length dimension Lis longer than the width dimension T. The width dimension of magnetic field generators of the coil is T. The multilayer filmis positioned within the width dimension Tof 60% in total of 30% each to the width dimension Tof the magnetic field generatorsandof the coil in the direction towards both sides from the center of the width dimension Twhen seen in a plan view.
