ABSTRACT:
In a magnetic detecting element, ferromagnetic layers are formed on both side portions of a free magnetic layer through nonmagnetic intermediate layers, and second antiferromagnetic layers are formed on the ferromagnetic layers with a spacing greater than the spacing between the ferromagnetic layers in the track width direction. Also, in both side portions of the element, the ferromagnetic layers have portions extending from the inner end surfaces of the respective second antiferromagnetic layers toward the center in the track width direction. Furthermore, electrode layers are formed on the second antiferromagnetic layers and on the extending portions of the ferromagnetic layers. It is thus possible to improve reproduced output, and suppress widening of an effective reproducing track width to appropriately suppress the occurrence of side reading.
