According to this invention, a device for detecting magnetism comprises; a substrate, an interposed insulating layer containing impurities therein, formed on the substrate, and a ferromagnetic magnetoresistive element formed on the interposed layer, wherein at least a portion of the interposed layer on which the ferromagnetic magnetoresistive element is formed has a concentration of impurities of less than a predetermined value.

A solid state image sensor that prevents a reduction of transfer efficiency even if pixel size is reduced. A first semiconductor region is formed on a semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor region is formed on the first semiconductor region. A plurality of parallel isolation regions are arranged in the second semiconductor region at predetermined intervals. Depth of the isolation regions is less than the thickness of the second semiconductor region such that the potential of transfer regions in the second semiconductor region is affected by a potential barrier formed in first semiconductor region rather than a potential barrier formed around the isolation regions when the intervals between the isolation regions are relatively narrow.

A rotation object is made of a magnetic material and disposed within a predetermined range of an angle of rotation on a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation. A bias magnet generates a bias magnetic field to the rotation body in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Magnetic resistance elements are disposed in the bias magnetic field on a plane including the axis of rotation at a position deviated from the position of the rotation object in the axial direction of the rotation body and inclined by about 45.degree. relative to a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
