- Either a GMR element or a Hall element can be used as the magnetic field detection element 4, but when the GMR element is used, it is arranged not at the straight line B shown in the figure but at a position slightly shifted in the x direction. This is because on the straight line B, the x-direction component cancels out between the magnetic field B1 and the magnetic field B2, and no x-direction component remains.

- the amount of magnetic flux passing through the magnetic field detection element 11 can also be controlled by changing the size (height and / or width) of the notch 12a. Therefore, according to the magnetic field detection apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, the sensitivity of the magnetic field detection element 11 can be controlled by appropriately adjusting the presence / absence and size of the notch 12a.
- FIG. 16 is a perspective view showing a magnetic field detection apparatus 10 according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention.
- the second magnetic core 13 is drawn with a slight shift as in FIG. 9B.
- FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view of the magnetic field detection device 10 according to the present embodiment corresponding to the cross-sectional view of FIG.
- the magnetic field detection device 10 according to the present embodiment is different from the magnetic field detection device 10 according to the sixth embodiment in that it has a third magnetic core 50.
- this point will be described in detail.
- the third magnetic core 50 is formed between the lower surface of the magnetic field detection element 11 (more specifically, the lower surface of the substrate 15) and the second magnetic core 13. It is arranged at a position overlapping the magnetic field detection element 11 when viewed from the direction.
- the height H of the third magnetic core 50 is set to be shorter than the distance between the lower surface of the substrate 15 and the lower inner wall surface of the second magnetic core 13.
- the width W in the x direction of the third magnetic core 50 is such that when the same material as that of the first and second magnetic cores 12 and 13 is used for the third magnetic core 50, the second magnetic core 13. It is preferable to set it to be twice or more the maximum thickness (the maximum value of the thickness at a place other than the corner C shown in FIG. 17). By doing so, the third magnetic core 50 is less likely to be saturated. In addition, it is possible to make the saturation level uniform between the third magnetic core 50 and the second magnetic core 13. As a specific example, it is preferable that the thickness of the second magnetic core is 1.5 mm and the width W is 3.0 mm.
- the width W is preferably set wider than the width of the magnetic field detection element 11 in the x direction.
- the width W can be narrowed by configuring the third magnetic core 50 with a material having a high saturation magnetic flux density. If the width W is narrowed, the amount of magnetic field in the x direction applied to the magnetic field detection element 11 is increased, and the area of the magnetic field detection element 11 formed integrally with the substrate 15 can be reduced. If the third magnetic core 50 is made of a material having a high saturation magnetic flux density, the third magnetic core 50 is less likely to be saturated, so that it is possible to increase the density of the current flowing through the conductor 14. . From the viewpoint that the magnetic flux passing through the first and second magnetic cores 12 and 13 is concentrated in the third magnetic core 50, the saturation magnetic flux density of the third magnetic core 50 is set to the first and second magnetic cores 50. It is preferable to make it larger than the saturation magnetic flux density of the second magnetic cores 12 and 13.
- the depth (width in the y direction) of the third magnetic core 50 is preferably slightly longer than the depth of the first magnetic core 12. If the depth of the third magnetic core 50 is shorter than the depth of the first magnetic core 12, the third magnetic core 50 is disposed under the magnetic field detection element 11 in the worst case due to an assembly accuracy problem or the like. Or the magnetic field may be disturbed. Such a problem can be solved by making the depth of the third magnetic core 50 longer than the depth of the first magnetic core 12.
- the upper surface of the third magnetic core 50 faces the upper inner wall surface of the second magnetic core 13 in parallel, but these two parallel magnetic pole faces do not substantially form a magnetic gap. . This is because most of the magnetic flux that enters the upper side from the side of the second magnetic core 13 flows into the first magnetic core 12 as shown in FIG. This is because the magnetic flux passing through the vicinity of the opposite surface becomes extremely dilute. Therefore, also in the present embodiment, the magnetic field detection element 11 is provided outside the gap (outside the gaps G1 and G2).

- the amount of magnetic flux passing therethrough is increased, and the magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic field detection element 4 is increased.
- the magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic field detection element 11 can be controlled by the presence or absence of the third magnetic core 50.
- the magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic field detection element 11 can also be controlled by adjusting the height H of the third magnetic core 50. That is, as the height H increases, the amount of magnetic flux passing through the third magnetic core 50 increases. Therefore, the amount of magnetic flux passing through the magnetic field detection element 11 increases, and the magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic field detection element 11 increases.
- the third magnetic core 50 may be divided into two or more.
- the plurality of third magnetic cores 50 are arranged so as to be symmetric with respect to the yz plane, and the magnetic field detection element 11 is arranged so as to be a target with respect to the yz plane. Is preferred. By arranging in this way, it is possible to form a bridge circuit using a plurality of magnetic field detecting elements 50.
- the magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic field detection element 4 can be improved by providing the third magnetic core 50. Further, the magnetic field detection sensitivity of the magnetic field detection element 11 can be controlled by adjusting the height H of the third magnetic core 50.
- a plurality of third magnetic cores 50 may be arranged in the xy plane.
- a plurality of third magnetic cores 50 may be stacked in the z direction.
- the third magnetic core 50 may be a separate magnetic core from the second magnetic core 12, or may be integrated with the second magnetic core 12.
