摘要： In a three-axis magnetic sensor, a plurality of magnetoresistive effect element bars are connected in series by means of bias magnets formed on a flat surface parallel to the flat surface of the substrate to constitute magnetoresistive effect elements. The sensitivity direction of magnetization is a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of each of the magnetoresistive effect element bars. Magnetoresistive effect elements forming X-axis and Y-axis sensors have magnetization directions that are orthogonal to each other. Magnetoresistive effect elements of the Z-axis sensor are formed on a tilted surface substrate in such a way that the magnetization direction is inside the tilted surface. The sensitivity direction of the Z-axis sensor is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the magnetoresistive effect element bar.

摘要： A method is designed for measuring a magnetic offset of a geomagnetic sensor equipped in a portable information terminal apparatus having a storage. The geomagnetic sensor has a magnetic sensitivity to a geomagnetic field and is affected by magnetization to cause the magnetic offset. In the method, an output of the geomagnetic sensor is measured to successively provide measurement data of the geomagnetic field from the output of the geomagnetic sensor. The measurement data is stored in the storage. The measurement data is read out from the storage when a number of the measurement data stored in the storage reaches a predetermined number, and an offset value of the magnetic offset is estimated based on the predetermined number of the measurement data read out from the storage.

摘要： A magnetic sensor for detecting the intensity of a magnetic field in three axial directions, in which a plurality of giant magnetoresistive elements are formed on a single semiconductor substrate. A thick film is formed on the semiconductor substrate; giant magnetoresistive elements forming X-axis and Y-axis sensors are formed on a planar surface thereof; and giant magnetoresistive elements forming a Z-axis sensor are formed using slopes of channels in the thick film. Each of the slopes of the channels can be constituted of a first slope and a second slope, so that a magneto-sensitive element is formed on the second slope having a larger inclination angle. In order to optimize the slope shape and inclination with respect to each channel, it is possible to form a dummy slope that does not directly relate to the formation of the giant magnetoresistive elements.

摘要： In a compass sensor unit, an azimuth data computing method is carried out by the steps of: inputting a signal from a geomagnetic sensor to measure magnetic field; determining whether to store measurement data of the magnetic field based on a distance from the last stored measurement data; calculating an offset value based on the stored data; making a comparison for each component of a plurality of measurement data used for calculating the offset value, and judging the offset value to be valid when a difference between the maximum and minimum values of each component is a given value or more; updating the already stored offset value to the offset value judged to be valid; and correcting newly provided measurement data by the updated offset value to compute azimuth data.

摘要： A magnetic sensor is constituted using magnetic sensor chips mounted on stages supported by interconnecting members and a frame having leads in a lead frame. Herein, the stages are inclined upon plastic deformation of the interconnecting members. When the frame is held in a metal mold and the stages are pressed, the interconnecting members are elastically deformed, so that the magnetic sensor chips are bonded onto the stages placed substantially in the same plane and are then wired with the leads. Thereafter, the stages are released from pressure, so that the interconnecting members are restored from the elastically deformed states thereof. When the magnetic sensor chips are combined together to realize three sensing directions, it is possible to accurately measure three-dimensional bearings of magnetism, and the magnetic sensor can be reduced in dimensions and manufactured with a reduced cost therefor.
