Claim 0:
1. A magnetic sensor comprising:
a magnetoresistive element whose resistance changes with an external magnetic field;
an insulating layer;
a coil that generates a coil magnetic field, the coil magnetic field being a magnetic field to be applied to the magnetoresistive element, the coil including a conductor portion located on the insulating layer; and
a support member that supports the magnetoresistive element, the support member including a top surface opposed to the magnetoresistive element and a bottom surface located on a side opposite to the top surface, wherein
the coil is formed above the top surface of the support member, and the conductor portion is a curved portion that protrudes in a direction away from the magnetoresistive element and the bottom surface of the support member.
