  • Publication number: 20230126952
    Abstract: Provided are a surface stress sensor that enables deterioration in measurement precision to be suppressed and a method for manufacturing the same. A surface stress sensor includes: a membrane configured to be bent by applied surface stress; a frame member configured to surround the membrane with gaps interposed therebetween when viewed from the thickness direction of the membrane; at least a pair of coupling portions configured to couple the membrane and the frame member; a flexible resistor configured to be disposed on at least one of the coupling portions and have a resistance value that changes according to bending induced in the coupling portion; and a support base member configured to be connected to the frame member and overlap the frame member when viewed from the thickness direction of the membrane, in which a cavity portion is disposed between the membrane and the support base member.

  • Publication number: 20220205963
    Abstract: A gas sensor includes an electrically conductive membrane that bends with an applied surface stress, a fixing member disposed outside the membrane, a coupling portion that couples together the membrane and the fixing member, a flexible resistor whose resistance value changes in accordance with a deflection that occurs in the coupling portion, a conductive support substrate connected to the fixing member and disposed with a gap between the membrane and the coupling portion, a receptor which is formed on an area including the center of a surface on one side of the membrane which is opposite to the other side facing the support substrate, and deforms in accordance with a substance adsorbed, a first terminal capable of applying a first potential to the membrane, a second terminal capable of applying a second potential to the support substrate, and an insulating portion electrically insulating the fixing member from the support substrate.
