To provide a load detection cell capable making a zero point that the load detection cell outputs more uniform than before even if the load detection cell has a position shift in its manufacture, a method of manufacturing the load detection cell, and a passenger detection sensor.

A load detection cell 1 which varies in capacitance C (first capacitance) with a load amount includes a pair of opposite electrodes 2 (2a, 2b) which face each other at a predetermined interval and cross each other. In this configuration, the pair of opposite electrodes 2 face each other at the predetermined interval and cross each other, so variation in opposition area is suppressed even if a position shift is caused. Therefore, even when the load detection cell 1 has a position shift in its manufacture, a zero point that the load detection cell 1 outputs can be made more uniform than before.
