ABSTRACT:
A surface structure of a magnetoresistive film involved in a magnetosensitive portion surrounded by a peripheral portion including at least an electrode film and a magnetic film underlying the electrode film for applying a unidirectional magnetic field onto the magnetosensitive portion, side edges of the magnetoresistive film are covered by the magnetic film so as to keep the side edges separate from the electrode film, an insulation film is provided on at least a peripheral area of a top surface of the magnetoresistive film so that a part of the electrode film extends on the insulating film thereby the top surface of the magnetoresistive film is separated by the insulating film from the electrode film so as to keep an effective area of the magnetoresistive film in an actual area thereof.
