Problems solved by technology

On the other hand, the accuracy of the relative positional relationship of the biaxial magnetic field detector with respect to the uniaxial magnetic field detector is determined by bending the flexible substrate, and therefore, the magnetization directions of the biaxial magnetic field detector and the uniaxial magnetic field detector The accuracy of the relative positional relationship of the two-axis magnetic field detector is lower than the accuracy of the relative positional relationship of the magnetization direction of the dual-axis magnetic field detector
In addition, in order to bend and fix the flexible substrate, a certain overlap width is required, and this results in a thick and large substrate member for fixing the flexible substrate
[0019] Uncertainty in the accuracy of the relative position between the three axes results in a tilt in the position accuracy obtained from the external magnetic field measurement output
However, the three-axis orientation sensors disclosed in Ref. 2 and Ref. 3 have limitations in this regard

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a magnetic sensor using a magnetoresistive element and a manufacturing method of the magnetic sensor. Background technique [0002] In the related art, there are various types of sensors having magnetoresistive elements, and such sensors include using magneto resistance (magneto resistance) effect elements (MR elements), magneto impedance (magneto impedance) elements (MI elements) , fluxgate sensor (fluxgate sensor), semiconductor Hall effect sensor and other sensors. [0003] For example, considering MI sensors, since MI elements (magnetoresistive elements) are used, it is easy to make MI sensors thin and small, and further improvements are being made. [0004] As for the MR element, when a high-frequency current flows in the MR element, the high-frequency impedance of the MR element changes with the magnetic field, and by utilizing the change of the high-frequency impedance caused by the magnetic field, the magnetic ...
