Zusammenfassung:At both sides of an element portion, a first hard bias layer having a higher residual magnetization Mr and a second hard bias layer having a higher coercive force Hc are deposited in that order from the bottom with one end of the first hard bias layer being closed close to a free magnetic layer. A film thickness ratio of the first hard bias layer in a whole hard bias layer is from 35% to 75%. This stabilizes magnetization in the free magnetic layer to reduce asymmetry, thus enabling improvement in stability of reproducing characteristics including noise suppression.
