Title:
PHYSICAL QUANTITY DETECTION DEVICE, PHYSICAL QUANTITY DETECTOR, AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2013170865
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide: an acceleration detection device capable of avoiding damage on a movable part and an acceleration detection element caused by collision of the part and the element with an inner surface of a package and displacement beyond the strength limit; and an acceleration detector and an electronic apparatus including the acceleration detection device.

An acceleration detection device comprises: a base part 10; a movable part 12; a physical quantity detection element 13; a support part 14 including a portion extending from the base part along the movable part in plan view; and a mass part 15 arranged on the movable part. The support part has a free end at an opposite side to the base part side in plan view. A part of the mass part overlaps with the support part respectively in plan view and in front view. The movable part is displaceable in a direction crossing with a principal plane around a joint as fulcrum in accordance with acceleration applied in the direction crossing with the principal plane or gravitational acceleration. A gap is provided between the mass part and the support part respectively in each area where the mass part and the support part overlap with each other.
