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.
