ABSTRACT:
A magnetoresistive element includes: a free layer made of a ferromagnetic material, the free layer configured to change the direction of magnetization under the influence of an external magnetic field; an insulating layer overlaid on the free layer, the insulating layer made of an insulating material; an amorphous reference layer overlaid on the insulating layer, the amorphous reference layer made of a ferromagnetic material, the amorphous reference layer configured to fix the magnetization in a predetermined direction; a crystal layer overlaid on the amorphous reference layer, the crystal layer containing crystal grains; a non-magnetic layer overlaid on the crystal layer, the non-magnetic layer containing crystal grains having grown from the crystal grains in the crystal layer; and a pinned layer overlaid on the non-magnetic layer, the pinned layer configured to fix the magnetization in a predetermined direction.
