摘要:
A magnetoresistive sensor includes a magnetoresistive element and equipment which generates a magnetic field in the magnetoresistive element thereby inducing a biasing magnetic field in the element, where the magnetoresistive element comprises a high electron mobility semiconductor and electrodes which are connected to the semiconductor. If it is an insulator, the equipment, which generates the biasing magnetic field and supplies it to the magnetoresistive element, may contact directly to the magnetoresistive element. If it is a conductor, an insulating separation layer must be set between the equipment and the element. A magnetoresistive element is representatively Corbino disk type or a bar type magnetoresistive element. Another candidate of the magnetoresistive element is an element consisting of a high electron mobility semiconductor, a pair of electrodes which make a current path in the high electron mobility semiconductor, and another pair of electrodes to detect the induced voltage by the current.

In a waveguide path coupling-type photodiode, a semiconductor light absorbing layer and an optical waveguide path core are adjacently arranged. An electrode formed of at least one layer is installed in a boundary part of the semiconductor light absorbing layer and the optical waveguide path core. The electrodes are arranged at an interval of (1/100)λ to λ [λ: wavelength of light transmitted through optical waveguide path core]. At least a part of the electrodes is embedded in the semiconductor light absorbing layer. Embedding depth from a surface of the semiconductor light absorbing layer is a value not more than λ/(2ns) [ns: refractive index of semiconductor light absorbing layer]. At least one layer of the electrode is constituted of a material which can surface plasmon-induced.

A light receiving circuit (114) includes a light inputting circuit (113) which converts one-system optical signal to be outputted from an optical transmission path (101) to an electrical signal and inverts a potential of the electrical signal each time the optical signal is detected, and a buffer circuit (110) which amplifies the electrical signal converted by the light inputting circuit and outputs the same. According to such configuration, since one-system optical signal may be inputted to the light receiving circuit, a system circuit configuration can be avoided to be complicated.

A thin film magnetic head includes lower and upper magnetic cores, an upper magnetic core distal end portion, a magnetic gap layer, coil layers, and insulating layers. The lower magnetic core has a distal end portion facing a magnetic head floating surface. The upper magnetic core distal end portion opposes the distal end portion of the lower magnetic core through a magnetic gap. The lower magnetic core and the upper magnetic head distal end portion are heated at a temperature T1 to have a saturation magnetic flux density BS1. The upper magnetic core magnetically connects the lower magnetic core and the upper magnetic core distal end portion to constitute a magnetic core and is heated at a temperature T2 to have a saturation magnetic flux density BS2. Note that T2
