    Abstract: A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) device includes a reference layer having a surface, a tunnel insulating layer formed over the surface of the reference layer, a free layer formed over the tunnel insulating layer, and a magnetic field providing layer formed over the free layer. A magnetization direction in each of the reference layer and the free layer is substantially perpendicular to the surface. The magnetic field providing layer is configured to provide a lateral magnetic field in the free layer, the lateral magnetic field being substantially parallel to the surface.

    Abstract: A magnetic field sensor for sensing an external magnetic field is disclosed. The magnetic field sensor includes at least two magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) elements disposed on an underlying electrode. Each of the MTJ elements is formed by a synthetic antiferromagnetic layer, a barrier layer and a free layer sequentially stacked together. A top electrode is then connected to the free layers. The free layer can be a single free layer, a composite free layer, a synthetic antiferromagnetic free layer or an alloy free layer. When a current is applied to a metal circuit passing over or below the MTJ elements, free magnetic moments generated by the MTJ elements are anti-parallel to each other along a reference axis, and the angles between the magnetic moments created by the MTJ elements and the reference axis are 40 to 50 degrees and 130 to 140 degrees, respectively.
