て注目されている。[Prior Art] As is well known, a magnetoresistive effect element using a magnetoresistive effect is widely used as a magnetic field sensor and a magnetic head since a relatively large output can be obtained with high sensitivity. Conventionally,
Permalloy alloy thin films exhibiting a magnetoresistance hardening rate of about 2% and having excellent soft magnetic properties are widely used for magnetoresistance effect elements. Further, as a material having a large magnetoresistance change rate, a multilayer film in which thin films of Co and Ni are laminated exhibits a large magnetoresistance change rate of about 3 to 4%, and soft magnetic characteristics can be obtained when the lamination cycle is set to about several tens of degrees. Therefore, it is attracting attention as a new MR element material.

In the MR element, so-called Barkhausen noise caused by discontinuous movement of the domain wall in the film becomes a serious problem. It is considered that the cause of Barkhausen noise is the movement of the domain wall caused by the demagnetizing field at the end of the MR element. For this reason, a number of methods have been proposed for eliminating the magnetic domain wall by forming the MR element into a single magnetic domain. The main method is the publication of The Journal of Applied Physics.
pplied Phisics), 1984, Vol. 55, p. 2226. That is, the first is a method of increasing the length of the MR element portion or increasing the ratio of the length to the width of the MR element to form a single magnetic domain by shape anisotropy. The second is a method in which a hard magnetic material or an antiferromagnetic material is placed at both ends of the MR element, and a bias magnetic field is applied in the sense current direction by a static magnetic field from the hard magnetic material or an exchange interaction of the antiferromagnetic material.

があった。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, the method of increasing the length of the MR element increases the track width when applied to a magnetic head or the like.
When used as a reproducing head for high-density magnetic recording, there is a problem that it is unsuitable. In addition, in order to apply a bias magnetic field using a hard magnetic material or an antiferromagnetic material, it is necessary to form a film by forming these materials on both ends of the MR element, which complicates the manufacturing process of the MR element. Not only the new bias layer thickness but also the MR
There has been a problem that the element becomes thicker or the characteristics of the MR element are deteriorated due to a step in the pattern forming portion.

[作用] 以下に本発明の作用を簡単に説明する。[Operation] The operation of the present invention will be briefly described below.

直流磁界を印加すると、その磁界方向を容易軸とする1
軸性の誘導磁気異方性を生じる。The Co / Ni multilayer film has a laminated structure when formed, and since the Co layer and the Ni layer have different crystal structures, the crystal grain size is limited by the thickness of each layer and is about several tens of mm. It has a small value. For this reason, the crystal magnetic anisotropy is suppressed, the coercive force is small, and a soft magnetic characteristic is exhibited. However, when this material is heated to a certain temperature or higher and then gradually cooled, the layers diffuse into each other and alloy, and the crystal grain size increases. Therefore, the coercive force due to the large crystal magnetic anisotropy of Co is from several hundreds to several hundreds.
It becomes a hard magnetic material of 0e. When a DC magnetic field is applied during the heating / cooling process, the direction of the magnetic field becomes an easy axis.
Axial induced magnetic anisotropy occurs.

端からの静磁界を受けるために単磁区構造が安定化さ
れ、バルクハウゼンノイズを生じない。The MR element of the present invention is a hard magnetic material in which both ends of the MR element are magnetized in the sense current direction. Since the MR element receives a static magnetic field from both ends thereof, the single magnetic domain structure is stabilized, and Barkhausen noise does not occur.

することができる。Furthermore, by using a focused laser beam as a heating method, it is possible to selectively alloy only a specific portion into a hard magnetic material, and to form a pattern by newly forming a hard magnetic material. The manufacturing process can be simplified as compared with the first embodiment.
