A three terminal magnetic sensor (TTM) suitable for use in a magnetic head has a base region, a collector region, and an emitter region. A first barrier layer is located between the emitter region and the base region, and a second barrier layer is located between the collector region and the base region. An air bearing surface (ABS) sensing plane of the TTM is defined along sides of the base region, the collector region, and the emitter region. The base region includes a free layer structure, a pinned layer structure, a first non-magnetic spacer layer formed between the free layer structure and the pinned layer structure, an in-stack longitudinal biasing layer (LBL) structure which magnetically biases the free layer structure, and a second non-magnetic spacer layer formed between the free layer structure and the in-stack longitudinal biasing layer structure. In one variation, the layers in the base region are inverted. The TTM may comprise a spin valve transistor (SVT), a magnetic tunnel transistor (MTT), or a double junction structure.
