ABSTRACT:
There are provided at least one wire, a magnetoresistive effect element having a storage layer whose magnetization direction varies according to a current magnetic field generated by causing a current to flow in the wire, and first yokes provided so as to be spaced from at least one pair of opposed side faces of the magnetoresistive effect element to form a magnetic circuit in cooperation with the magnetoresistive effect element when a current is caused to flow in the wire. Each of the first yokes has at least two soft magnetic layers which are stacked via a non-magnetic layer.
