Title:
ACCELERATION SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/155506
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is an acceleration sensor wherein shock resistance is improved without changing the sensitivity and resonance frequency of the sensor. A beam section (31) has the base edge side thereof connected to a supporting section (30), and the leading edge side thereof connected to a weight section (34). The beam section (31) has a cross-section formed in a T-shape, and piezoresistors (R1-R4) are formed on the upper surface of the beam section (31). The weight section (34) is connected to the leading edge of the beam section (31), and is positioned inside of the supporting section (30). A substantially C-shaped groove (33) that surrounds the weight section (34) is provided between the weight section (34) and the supporting section (30). Furthermore, the weight section (34) has an extending portion (36) formed by having a surface layer (91) edge on the beam section (31) side extending to the beam section (31) side from a supporting substrate layer (93) edge on the beam section (31) side. Therefore, when a shock is applied, and acceleration in the X direction is operated, maximum stress is dispersed to the beam section (31) side from the boundary between the beam section (31) and the weight section (34).
