ABSTRACT:
The semiconductor oxide layer that forms a part of the spacer layer in the inventive giant magnetoresistive device (CPP-GMR device) is composed of zinc oxide of wurtzite structure that is doped with a dopant given by at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Zn, Ge, V, and Cr in a content of 0.05 to 0.90 at %: there is the advantage obtained that ever higher MR ratios are achievable while holding back an increase in the area resistivity AR.
