Reorientation of magnetic layers and structures having reoriented magnetic layers

摘要

A magnetoresistive assembly includes at least a first and a second magnetoresistive element formed on a common substrate, the at least first magnetoresistive element comprising a first pinned ferromagnetic layer being magnetized in a first direction, the at least second magnetoresistive element comprising a second pinned ferromagnetic layer being magnetized in a second direction different than the first direction.
