Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having a plurality of Hall elements formed therein, and a magnetic body formed on the semiconductor substrate and having a magnetic flux converging function. The contour in vertical cross-section of the magnetic body on the semiconductor substrate has an outer circumferential portion. At least a part of the outer circumferential portion has a portion having an approximate quadrant shape, and a portion contiguous to the approximate quadrant portion and substantially parallel to the semiconductor substrate.
