A three-axis magnetic sensor or magnetometer is provided. Two magnetic sensor Wheatstone bridges using barber pole AMR structures are fabricated on opposite sides of a bump structure formed on a substrate to provide surfaces that are at a predetermined angle with respect to the flat surface of the substrate. The bridge assembly is oriented along the Y axis and the bridges are interconnected such that Y and Z channel signals can be produced by processing of the bridge signals. The X channel signals are provided by an X axis sensor provided on the level surface of the substrate.
