ABSTRACT:
A magnetic sensor comprises a plurality of layers including a substrate having circuitry, at least one conductive layer to interconnect the circuitry, and an insulator layer to electrically insulate the at least one conductive layer. First and second conductive layers are disposed above the substrate with a dielectric layer disposed between the first and second conductive layers such that the first and second conductive layers and the dielectric layer form a capacitor. A first terminal is electrically connected to the first conductive layer and a second terminal is electrically connected to the second conductive layer.
