1. An XMR-sensor, comprising:

  • a substrate having a first main surface area and a second, different main surface area;

    an XMR-structure comprising at least one section that extends along a first direction perpendicular to the first main surface area or the second main surface area such that an XMR-plane of the XMR-structure is arranged in the first direction;

    a first contact and a second contact arranged to contact the at least one section of the XMR-structure at different locations of the XMR-structure; and

    a current conductor configured to conduct a current therethrough, and the current conductor further configured to generate a magnetic field parallel to the XMR-plane of the XMR-structure and within the XMR-structure in response to the conducting current.
