  • Patent number: 11946989
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor device includes at least one magnetic sensor and a support. A center of gravity of an element layout area of the at least one magnetic sensor is deviated from a center of gravity of a reference plane of the support. The at least one magnetic sensor includes four resistor sections constituted by a plurality of magnetoresistive elements. Magnetization of a free layer in each of two of the resistor sections includes a component in a third magnetization direction. The magnetization of a free layer in each of the other two resistor sections includes a component in a fourth magnetization direction opposite to the third magnetization direction.

  • Publication number: 20240019505
    Abstract: A magnetic sensor device includes a sensor substrate and a sensor element circuitry. The sensor substrate has a surface. The sensor element circuitry is provided on the surface of the sensor substrate and includes one or more magnetic sensor elements. As viewed in a plane parallel to the surface, the sensor substrate has a perimeter that is substantially octagonal. The perimeter includes two short sides opposed to each other, two long sides opposed to each other, and four corners. The four corners are each chamfered entirely or partially in a thickness direction that is substantially orthogonal to the surface. A ratio of a length of each of the four corners along each of the two long sides of the sensor substrate to a length of each of the two long sides of the sensor substrate is less than or equal to 0.39.

  • Publication number: 20220208627
    Abstract: In an assembly in which a space between two elements is filled with a filler containing resin, a configuration that can limit both the size of the assembly and the cost of the fillers is provided. An assembly of stacked elements has: first element having first surface; resin layer that is arranged on first surface and that contains a plurality of fillers; and second element that is arranged on resin layer and that has second surface that is in contact with resin layer. In a section that is perpendicular to second surface, the average flattening ratio of fillers that are in contact with second surface is larger than the average flattening ratio of fillers that are not in contact with second surface. Here, the flattening ratio is a ratio of the maximum length of the filler in a direction parallel to second surface to the maximum thickness of the filler in a direction perpendicular to second surface.
