  • Patent number: 9188600
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a physical quantity detector is for a physical quantity detector including a flat frame-like base part, a flat plate-like moving part which is arranged inside the base part and has one end thereof connected to the base part via a joint part, and a physical quantity detection element laid on the base part and the moving part. The method includes: integrally forming the base part, the joint part, the moving part, and a connecting part which is provided on a free end side of the moving part and connects the base part and the moving part to each other; laying and fixing the physical quantity detection element on the base part and the moving part; and cutting off the connecting part.

  • Patent number: 8939027
    Abstract: An acceleration sensor includes an acceleration detector, a first fixed portion and a second fixed portion, and first to fourth beams that connect the first fixed portion and the second fixed portion to the acceleration detector. A support substrate includes a fixed first substrate piece, a movable second substrate piece, and a hinge that connects the first substrate piece and the second substrate piece to each other. The longitudinal direction of the acceleration detector extends along the direction perpendicular to a detection axis thereof, and a central portion of the acceleration detector in the short-side direction overlaps with the hinge in the short-side direction. The length of the second substrate piece along the longitudinal direction of the hinge is greater than the length of the second substrate piece along the short-side direction of the hinge.
