  • Patent number: 7432724
    Abstract: A capacitive sensor for detecting a physical quantity includes a movable electrode and a fixed electrode, and a controlling unit for applying a signal between the movable electrode and the fixed electrode. The controlling unit includes an input terminal, an output terminal, and a time measuring means for measuring a time period. The controlling unit measures the time period, for which a diagnosis instruction signal is input into the input terminal. The controlling unit performs the self-diagnosis, after the instruction signal continues for a predetermined time period.

  • Patent number: 6935176
    Abstract: A sensor chip (100) includes comb-toothed movable electrodes (24) displaceable in a Y-direction, and comb-toothed stationary electrodes (30, 31, 40, 41) arranged to confront those movable electrodes (24), on one face side of a semiconductor substrate (10). The sensor chip (100) detects acceleration on the basis of a capacity change accompanying an acceleration application in the Y-direction between the movable electrodes (24) and the stationary electrodes (30, 31, 41, 42). The stationary electrodes (30, 31, 41, 42) are individually disposed to confront each other on one and other sides of the direction taken along the Y-direction in the individual movable electrodes (24). The individual electrode pads (25a, 30a, 31a, 40a, 41a) and the circuit chip (200) are electrically connected by bump electrodes (300) so that one face of the substrate (10) confronts the circuit chip (200).
