A tunnel magnetoresistive effective element has a ferromagnetic tunnel effective
film with a free layer, a pinned layer and a tunnel barrier layer sandwiched between
the free layer and the pinned layer, a magnetic bias means, a first conductive
layer, and a second conductive layer. The magnetic bias means apply a bias magnetic
field to the free layer of the ferromagnetic tunnel effective film. The first conductive
layer and the second conductive layer generate magnetic fields having the same
direction as that of the bias magnetic field through a sense current therein to
reinforce the bias magnetic field.
