    Abstract: Provided is a magnetoresistance effect device comprising a magnetoresistance effect element including a first ferromagnetic layer, a second ferromagnetic layer and a spacer layer and a high-frequency signal line. The high-frequency signal line includes an overlapping part disposed at a position overlapping the magnetoresistance effect element and a non-overlapping part disposed at a position not overlapping the magnetoresistance effect element in a plan view from a stacking direction. At least a part of the non-overlapping part is formed to be thicker than at least a part of the overlapping part. A distance in the stacking direction between a virtual plane including a surface on the side of the overlapping part of the first ferromagnetic layer and a center line in the high-frequency signal line in the stacking direction is shorter in at least a part of the overlapping part than in at least a part of the non-overlapping part.

    Abstract: A magneto-resistive effect element (MR element) has an upper shield that is magnetized in a cross track direction, a lower shield that is positioned at an interval relative to the upper shield in a down track direction, and a multilayer film that is positioned between the upper shield and the lower shield and that faces an air bearing surface (ABS). The multilayer film has a free layer where its magnetization direction fluctuates relative to an external magnetic field, a pinned layer where its magnetization direction is pinned against the external magnetic field, a nonmagnetic spacer layer that is positioned between the free layer and the pinned layer, and an insulating layer that is positioned at a back side of the free layer viewed from the ABS. The MR element further has a pair of side shields that are positioned at both sides of the free layer and the insulating layer in a cross track direction. The side shields contact the upper shield on the sides of the free layer and the insulating layer in the cross track direction.
