Abstract
A magnetoresistive head comprises a magnetoresistive layer having an axis of easy magnetization in the direction parallel to an air bearing surface, a first electrode formed on the magnetoresistive layer on the air bearing surface side and an oblique side portion with respect to the air bearing surface, and a second electrode formed to be separated at a distance from the first electrode and having a side portion substantially parallel to the oblique side portion of the first electrode on the magnetoresistive layer.
