ABSTRACT:
A multilayer magnetoresistive (MR) sensor formed on a substrate includes alternating layers of a ferromagnetic material and a non-magnetic metallic material. The ferromagnetic material and the non-magnetic material form bilayers which exhibit the property that the magnetoresistance of the multilayered structure oscillates as a function of thickness of the non-magnetic material. A current flow is produced through the MR sensor, and the variations in the resistivity of the MR sensor are sensed as a function of the magnetic field being sensed.
