Abstract: A magnetoresistive (MR) element (10) is provided with elongate extensions (14h, 14v), which are made of the same material as the MR element and unidirectionally magnetised along their length in order to provide bias for the MR element. The bias provided by the elongate extensions (14h, 14v) may be supplemented, e.g by means of an exchange bias film (16) having the same dimensions as the MR element (10).
