Abstract
A high density magnetic read head is designed to yield an increased read signal. The width of the read head is reduced by folding a magnetoresistive sensor strip into U-shaped loops. The loops are folded one upon another in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the storage medium. By folding the sensor strip, the shape anisotropy of the sensor is increased and the single domain condition of the sensor in the desired direction is maintained.
