Abstract

A high performance thin film memory device uses an artificial lattice magnetoresistance effect film, and operable with a low magnetic field and room temperature; and the device has a magnetic film part M, current feed lines R and R' for generating magnetic field for information data writing-in, and an information data readout line S of an artificial lattice magnetoresistance film of a lamination structure of a metallic magnetic thin layers such as Ni--Fe--Co system and a metallic nonmagnetic thin layers such as Cu.
