  • Patent number: 11614462
    Abstract: A physical quantity sensor includes a physical quantity sensor element including a lid joined to a substrate to define a housing space in the inside and a physical quantity sensor element piece housed in the housing space and a circuit element bonded to the outer surface of the lid via an adhesive material. In the lid, an electrode is provided to extend from an inner wall of a through-hole, which pierces through the lid from the housing space to a surface on the opposite side of the side of the physical quantity sensor element piece and is sealed by a sealing member, to a peripheral edge of the through-hole at the surface on the opposite side. In a sectional view, thickness of a region at the peripheral edge of the electrode is smaller at the opposite side of the side of an opening of the through-hole than the opening side.
