Abstract
A magnetoresistance element includes an insulating substrate, a patterned magnetoresistance film of a ferromagnetic material deposited thereon and having a uniaxis magnetic anisotropy, and a patterned hard biasing layer of a ferromagnetic material deposited on the substrate. The biasing layer is divided into two parts on both sides of the magnetoresistance layer and magnetized in the direction parallel to a line which intersects the easy direction of magnetization of the patterned magnetoresistance layer at an acute angle (.theta.).
