Abstract
A magnetic sensor includes a substrate having a reference plane, a support member having an inclined surface, and a magnetoresistive element disposed on the inclined surface. The magnetoresistive element has a bottom surface, a top surface, and a first side surface and a second side surface connecting the bottom surface and the top surface. The first side surface is, as compared to the second side surface, located in front in a first direction that is along the inclined surface and that gets close to the reference plane. At least a part of the first side surface is, as compared to a first virtual plane, located close to the second side surface, and the first virtual plane intersects with a first corner present at a position at where the top surface and the first side surface intersect and is perpendicular to the reference plane.
