Abstract:
A magnetic sensor includes an MR element and two stacks. The two stacks are spaced apart from each other along a first direction. Each stack includes a ferromagnetic layer and an antiferromagnetic layer stacked along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction. An element placement region is formed between the two stacks when viewed in the second direction. The element placement region includes a middle region and two end regions. The MR element is placed to lie within the middle region.

Claim (Index 1):
A magnetic sensor comprising:\n at least one magnetic detection element for detecting a magnetic field to be detected; and a first stack and a second stack, wherein the first stack and the second stack are spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other along a first direction, the at least one magnetic detection element is located between the first stack and the second stack in the first direction, each of the first and second stacks includes a ferromagnetic layer and a first antiferromagnetic layer stacked along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, the ferromagnetic layer has a first surface and a second surface located at opposite ends in the second direction, the first antiferromagnetic layer is in contact with the first surface of the ferromagnetic layer and exchange-coupled to the ferromagnetic layer, each of the first and second stacks has a first end and a second end opposite to each other in a third direction orthogonal to both of the first direction and the second direction, the first and second stacks are positioned to define an element placement region, the element placement region being located between the first stack and the second stack when viewed in the second direction, and between a first straight line connecting the first end of each of the first and second stacks when viewed in the second direction and a second straight line connecting the second end of each of the first and second stacks when viewed in the second direction, the element placement region includes a first end region, a second end region and a middle region each of which has an area, the first end region is located closer to the first straight line than is the middle region, the second end region is located closer to the second straight line than is the middle region, the middle region is located between the first end region and the second end region, borders on the first end region along a first border line parallel to the first straight line, and borders on the second end region along a second border line parallel to the second straight line, and the at least one magnetic detection element is placed such that an entirety of the at least one magnetic detection element lies within the middle region.
