Abstract
A soft-film-bias type magnetoresistive device is disclosed in which a high-permeability magnetic film, an insulating film and a permalloy film are formed on a substrate in this order, and first, second and third electrodes, which are parallel to each other, are provided on the permalloy film, to form a differential type magnetoresistive device. In this magnetoresistive device, a bias magnetic field which is generated and applied to the permalloy film between the first and second electrodes, is opposite in direction to a bias magnetic field which is generated and applied to the permalloy film between the second and third electrodes.
