Magnetoresistive device and/or multi-magnetoresistive device

摘要

A magneto-resistive element includes a vertical current type magneto-resistive element; a first conductor for causing a current to flow into the vertical current type magneto-resistive element; and a second conductor for causing the current to flow out of the vertical current type magneto-resistive element. The first conductor generates a first magnetic field based on the current. The second conductor generates a second magnetic field based on the current. The first conductor and the second conductor are located so that the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field act as a bias magnetic field applied on the vertical current type magneto-resistive element.
