Sensor for Sensing a Magnetic Field Direction, Magnetic Field Direction Sensing, Method for Producing Magnetic Field Sensors, and Write-In Apparatus for Producing Magnetic Field Sensors

摘要

A sensor for sensing a magnetic field direction has a plurality of magnetoresistive sensor elements, each of which having a main sensitivity direction with respect to a present magnetic field. Lines associated with the main sensitivity directions of the magnetoresistive sensor elements and passing through the magnetoresistive sensor elements intersect in an area outside the magnetoresistive sensor elements themselves.
