  • Publication number: 20070176249
    Abstract: In a semiconductor physical quantity sensor of electrostatic capacitance type, mutually facing peripheral areas (bonding areas) of a glass substrate and a silicon substrate are contacted for anodic bonding, while at the same time, both substrates have an anodic bonding voltage applied therebetween so as to be integrated. A fixed electrode is formed on a bonding face-side surface of the silicon substrate, while a movable electrode is formed on a bonding face-side surface of the semiconductor substrate. An equipotential wiring, which short-circuits the fixed electrode to the movable electrode as a countermeasure to discharge in anodic bonding, is formed on the bonding face-side surface of the glass substrate inside the bonding area before the anodic bonding. After the anodic bonding, the equipotential wiring is cut and removed.
