Abstract
A magnetic sensor according to the invention has a magnetoresistive element having a multi-layer structure and a magnetically sensitive axis, and at least a soft magnetic body that is arranged near the magnetoresistive element. The soft magnetic body has a sloping line at least at a corner thereof, wherein the sloping line is tilted with respect to two sides of the soft magnetic body that extend to the corner, as viewed in a stacking direction of the magnetoresistive element.
Claims14
A magnetic sensor comprising:
- a plurality of magnetoresistive elements;
- and
- a soft magnetic body that shields a magnetic field that is applied to the magnetoresistive elements, wherein
- the soft magnetic body includes two pairs of straight sides and at least one sloping side, which is located between two adjacent ones of the straight sides, such that the sloping side is sloped with respect to each of the adjacent ones of the straight sides, as viewed in a film thickness direction of the magnetoresistive element,
- the magnetoresistive elements form a group in which the magnetoresistive elements are arranged in an aligning direction, and
- the soft magnetic body is arranged on one side of the group in the film thickness direction.
