Abstract

No related magnetoresistive multi-layered films made from a metal magnetic film provide sufficient reproducing output power. A high-polarized layer with a thickness of 10 nm or less is formed as a Fe-rich Fe—O layer in contact with the interface of a non-magnetic intermediate layer and the resulting layers are heat treated to form a multi-layered film of ferromagnetic Fe—O layers, achieving a magnetoresistive element having high magnetoresistance.
