Abstract

A magnetoresistance element includes: a first magnetoresistance subelement including a first free magnetization layer, a first tunnel insulating layer and a first fixed magnetization layer, the first tunnel insulating layer interposed between the first free magnetization layer and the first fixed magnetization layer; and a second magnetoresistance subelement including a second free magnetization layer, a second tunnel insulating layer and a second fixed magnetization layer, the second tunnel insulating layer interposed between the second free magnetization layer and the second fixed magnetization layer, wherein the first and second magnetoresistance subelements are stacked each other, and an order of the first free magnetization layer and the first fixed magnetization layer is opposite to an order of the second free magnetization layer and the second fixed magnetization layer in a thickness direction of the magnetoresistance element.
