  • Publication number: 20230273083
    Abstract: A metal member with insulating film includes a metal member, an insulating film, and a reinforcement portion. The metal member includes a film formation surface and a connection surface facing in a different direction from the film formation surface and connecting to the film formation surface. The insulating film covers at least a part of the film formation surface and the connection surface over a connection position between the film formation surface and the connection surface. The reinforcement portion is formed along a periphery of the insulating film at the connection position and covers at least a part of the periphery of the insulating film from an opposite side to the metal member.

  • Publication number: 20230131075
    Abstract: [Problem] To provide a pressure sensor that has a plurality of detection parts in a lamination direction, and moreover has improved detection accuracy. [Solution] A pressure sensor 10 has a membrane 22 in which deformation corresponding to pressure occurs, a first gauge layer 40 which is formed on the membrane 22, an intermediate insulation layer 50 which is formed on the first gauge layer 40, and a second gauge layer 60 which is formed on the intermediate insulation layer 50. The first gauge layer 40 and the second gauge layer 60 respectively include a first detection part 42 and a second detection part 62 which detect the deformation of the membrane. The distance from the surface of the membrane 22 to the second detection part 62 is no more than 30 ?m.

  • Publication number: 20220291068
    Abstract: A sensor element suitable for miniaturization. This pressure sensor element has: a metal plate; an insulating film provided on a first surface, which is one surface of the metal plate, so as to form a covered region in which the first plate is covered and an exposed region in which the first surface is exposed; and a pressure detection circuit formed on the insulating film so as to be insulated from the first surface by means of the insulating film.
