Abstract: In this talk I will introduce some existing applications of magnetoresistive sensors in very different areas and some main trends for the next years. Sensors to fulfill the requirements of course have specific requirements about performance. Linearization still is an important factor for many applications. Sensitivity in z-axis or in 3D as well the ability to apply various pinning directions in one chip became important technics during the last view years. I will also present two more fundamental studies: a new way to control magnetostriction and stress.
