The output characteristics of thin film NiO/NiFe bilayered magnetoresistive device have been measured as a function of the direction of external magnetic field. Each layer was fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering method, and especially, the under layer, NiO, was fabricated under the in-situmagnetic field of about 1000Oe. The magnetoresistive devices were designed with the angle of 45degree between the direction of current of the device pattern and the induces magnetic field in the NiO film layer. The output of the devices had a good linearity when the devices were placed on the external magnetic field perpendicular to induced field direction and also 45 degree with the currenr path direction.
