MAGNETO-RESISTIVE DEVICE AND/OR MULTIPLE ELEMENT MAGNETO-RESISTIVE DEVICE

摘要

PURPOSE: A magneto-resistive device and a multiple element magneto-resistive device are provided to adjust the bias magnetic field applied to the vertical current type magneto-resistive element by the magneto-resistive element and the multiple element magneto-resistive device with simple structure. CONSTITUTION: A magneto-resistive element(100) includes a vertical current type magneto-resistive element(101); a first conductor(102) for causing a current to flow into the vertical current type magneto-resistive element; and a second conductor(103) 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, and the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field act as the bias magnetic field applied on the vertical current type magneto-resistive element.
