Abstract
A scissor type magnetic sensor having an in stack magnetic bias structure for biasing first and second magnetic free layers. The in stack bias structure can include a magnetic tab that is exchange coupled with a magnetic shield so as to pin its magnetization in a desired direction parallel with the media facing surface. The magnetic tab can be separated from the free magnetic layer by a non-magnetic de-coupling layer that magnetically de-couples the magnetic tab from the magnetic free layer. A magnetostatic field from the edges of the magnetic tab can provide magnetic biasing for the magnetic free layer. Alternatively, the magnetic tab can be separated from the magnetic free layer by a very thin non-magnetic dusting layer that provides a weak magnetic exchange coupling (either parallel or anti-parallel) between the magnetic tab and the magnetic free layer.
