MAGNETOSENSITIVE ELEMENT Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering, specifically magnetoresistive reading elements, computer engineering. SUBSTANCE: magnetosensitive element can find use in computer technology to read information from magnetic media of high information density, in sensor equipment and automatics. Magnetosensitive element includes two plate with bridge in central part produced form thin-film ferromagnetic material with film thickness between 0.2 to 100.0 nm. Magnetization of two plates has flat opposite orientation along bridge. Width of bridge lies between 1-50 nm. EFFECT: simplified design of element, raised stability of its operation thanks to increased magnetic sensitivity to measured external field, reduced volume of magnetic polarity reversal. 5 cl, 6 dwg
