    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor for sensing motion of a ferromagnetic object comprises a substrate. The substrate includes first and second major surfaces, each having a width dimension and a length dimension. The magnetic field sensor further comprises a magnet. The magnet includes a first major surface proximate to the substrate, the first major surface of the magnet heaving a width and a length, and a second major surface. The magnetic field sensor further includes first and second magnetic field sensing dements. The first magnetic field sensing element and the second magnetic field sensing element are positioned beyond respective ends of the width of the magnet. The second magnetic field sensing element is substantially farther from the ferromagnetic object than the first magnetic field sensing element. A line passing through the first and second magnetic field sensing elements is perpendicular to the magnet axis.

    Abstract: Novel anisotropic magneto-resistive (AMR) sensor architectures and techniques for fabricating same are described. In some embodiments, AMR sensors having barber pole structures disposed below corresponding AMR sensing elements are provided. AMR sensors having segmented AMR sensing elements are also described. Fabrication techniques that can be used to fabricate such sensors are also described. Fabrication techniques are also described that can reduce the risk of contamination during AMR sensor fabrication.
