PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a structure capable of measuring fine force and torque with high sensitivity, and greatly simplifying manufacturing processes without an electric insulating film. SOLUTION: The strain sensor includes a coil in a zigzag pattern in which linear parts and folded parts are alternately continued on a substrate, and a super-magnetostriction film formed in a periphery of the coil. The respective linear parts of the coil has a sandwich structure where a soft magnetic film and the super-magnetostriction film, or the super-magnetostriction films are directly in contact with the coil and sandwich the linear part vertically. The super-magnetostriction film and the soft magnetic film (or the super-magnetostriction film) have a rectangle pattern with a length not more than that of the linear part of the coil and a width not less than that of the linear part of the coil, and they are arranged so that the adjacent rectangle patterns are not overlapped each other on the substrate.
