A multi-layered magnetoresistance effect film, a magnetoresistance effect
device and a magnetoresistance effect magnetic head of high sensitivity
not affected by the sense current magnetic field. The multi-layered
magnetoresistance effect film 1 includes a multi-layered film 4 of a
pattern made up of magnetic layers 10 and non-magnetic electrically
conductive layers 11, repeatedly layered together, and electrically
conductive layers 3, 5 formed on at least one end face in the layering
direction of the multi-layered film 4. The resistivity of the electrically
conductive layers 3, 5 is selected to be larger than that of the magnetic
layer 10. The magnetoresistance effect device has the above-defined
multi-layered magnetoresistance effect film 1, while the magnetoresistance
effect magnetic head has the above-defined magnetoresistance effect
device.
