Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a magnetoresistance effect film, comprising the steps of:vapor-depositing ferromagnetic particle starting material on a substrate at a temperature not exceeding 300Â° C., said starting material being vapor-deposited in an amount enough to cover a substrate surface to a thickness ranging from 0.5 to 15 nm; after formation of ferromagnetic particles on the substrate, vapor-depositing at a temperature not exceeding room temperature a nonmagnetic film over the ferromagnetic particles, said nonmagnetic film having a thickness ranging from 1 to 100 nm; and providing a pair of electrodes on the nonmagnetic film, wherein the ferromagnetic particle starting material is MnSb.
