Abstract

Embodiments of the invention implement a construction capable of reconciling high read output with high stability by improving the structures of magnetic films. In one embodiment, an inclined crystal grain structure is applied to a soft magnetic free layer, ferromagnetic pinned layer and so forth, thereby enhancing electron scatter performance of thin magnetic films.
