Abstract
The present invention discloses a MTJ triaxial magnetic field sensor, comprising an X-axis bridge sensor that has a sensing direction along an X-axis, a Y-axis bridge sensor that has a sensing direction along a Y-axis, a Z-axis sensor that has a sensing direction along a Z-axis, and an ASIC chip connected with and matched to the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis sensor chips. The Z-axis sensor includes a substrate and MTJ magnetoresistive elements deposited on the substrate. The Z axis magnetic field sensor is attached to the ASIC chip along an attachment edge, and an angle is formed between the sensor side of the Z axis magnetic field sensor and the adjacent attachment edge. The attachment edge angle is an acute angle or an obtuse angle. The resulting X, Y, and Z axes are mutually orthogonal. The above design provides a highly integrated sensor with high sensitivity, low power consumption, good linearity, wide dynamic range, excellent thermal stability, and low noise.
