    Abstract: Described is a magnetoresistive (MR) sensor comprising a multilayered structure formed on a substrate includes alternating layers of a ferromagnetic material (12) and copper (14). The ferromagnetic material and the copper 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. Also described is a sensor having a quadlayer structure which comprises alternating layers of a first and second ferromagnetic material and a non-magnetic metallic material.

    Abstract: An improved thin'film magnetoresistive (MR) sensor uses an alloy comprising Fe(1-x)Mnx where x is within the range of 0.3 to 0.4, as an antiferromagnetic layer to provide longitudinal exchange bias in the ferromagnetic MR layer. In a specific embodiment the exchange bias is at a high level and is independent of thickness of the antiferromagnetic layer over a wide range.
