Abstract
Two magnetic layers are mutually interconnected by a constricted region also made of a magnetic material. The layers may be separated by an intermediate non-metallic layer having a hole filed with magnetic material to from the constricted region. Alternatively, the layers and constricted region may be substantially co-planar. The constricted region minimum cross-section dimension preferably is less than one micron, and ideally of the order of 100 nm, thus being much smaller than the diameter of a magnetic domain. A high magneto-resistance ratio is obtained, and electrical and magnetic properties of the sensor can be adjusted largely independently.
