Abstract
In one aspect, an integrated circuit includes a first conductive layer and a magnetoresistance element (MRE) disposed over and coupled to the first layer through first vias. The MRE is magnetized to produce a first magnetic orientation. The first layer is disposed over and coupled to a second conductive layer in the circuit through second vias. The circuit also includes a metal filler disposed proximate to the MRE. The metal filler is positioned over and coupled to the second layer through third vias. The circuit also includes a thermal dissipation path resulting from a physical input applied to the first MRE. The thermal dissipation path extends through the first through third vias, the first and second layers, an integrated circuit interconnection, and the metal filler.
