Abstract: A physical quantity sensor has a first movable electrode section which has a portion facing a first fixed electrode section and a second movable electrode section which has a portion facing a second fixed electrode section, and is provided with a movable mass section which is formed in a shape which encloses a first fixed electrode side fixed section, a second fixed electrode side fixed section, a first movable electrode side fixed section, and a second movable electrode side fixed section in planar view.

Abstract: A physical quantity sensor includes a base substrate and an element piece bonded to the base substrate. The element piece includes fixed portions fixed to the base substrate, a first fixed electrode finger supported on the fixed portion, a second fixed electrode finger supported on the fixed portion, a fixed portion that is positioned between the fixed portions and is fixed to the base substrate, a movable portion that is displaceable with respect to the fixed portion, an elastic portion that links the fixed portion and the movable portion, a first movable electrode finger that is supported on the movable portion and that is arranged facing the first fixed electrode finger, and a second movable electrode finger that is supported on the movable portion and is arranged facing the second fixed electrode finger.

Abstract: A physical quantity detection element includes: a substrate; first and second fixed electrode portions on the substrate; a movable body on the upper portion of the substrate; and a beam on the movable body, the movable body includes a first movable body on a first side of the beam, and a second movable body on a second side of the beam, the first movable body includes a first movable electrode portion facing the first fixed electrode portion and a first mass portion disposed in an opposite direction of the beam from the first movable electrode portion, the second movable body includes a second movable electrode portion facing the second fixed electrode portion, a mass of the first movable body is greater than a mass of the second movable body, and a mass of the first mass portion is greater than a mass of the first movable electrode portion.
