Magnetic sensors are widely used in various fields, such as environment, security, medical appliances, information technology, automobiles, etc. Additionally, the market scale of magnetic sensors is several billion dollars*. In this research, we will develop magnetic sensor devices with high sensitivity, small size, low power consumption and low cost using magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs). A revolution in market of magnetic sensors is expected by realization of high-performance MTJs.
