Magnetic detector and method for producing the same
A magnetic detector includes a full-bridge circuit including magnetoresistive sensors on the same substrate. The magnetoresistive sensors include two magnetoresistive films and have different relationships between the fixed magnetization direction and the bias application direction. The fixed magnetization direction and the bias application direction are determined with three or more exchange coupling films including antiferromagnetic layers with different blocking temperatures. Thus, the magnetic detector has high resistance to a strong magnetic field, is easy to produce, and has a high degree of flexibility in production.
