  • Patent number: 11680797
    Abstract: A physical quantity sensor includes a substrate, an anchor portion, a surrounding portion, a detecting element, a moving portion, and a beam portion. The anchor portion is formed on the same side as a principal surface of the substrate and fixed to the substrate. The surrounding portion is formed on the same side as the principal surface of the substrate and surrounds the anchor portion. The detecting element detects a physical quantity as a target of detection. The moving portion is provided with at least a part of the detecting element, formed on the same side as the principal surface of the substrate, and connected to the surrounding portion. The beam portion is formed on the same side as the principal surface of the substrate and connects the anchor portion and the surrounding portion together.

  • Patent number: 10649000
    Abstract: A connection assembly includes a sensor substrate, a layer substrate coupled to the sensor substrate so as to face an upper surface of the sensor substrate, and a wire connected between the sensor substrate and the layer substrate. The sensor substrate includes first and second projections provide on the upper surface of the sensor substrate and extending in an extension direction along the upper surface of the sensor substrate. The wire has a first end sandwiched between the layer substrate and the first projection, and a second end sandwiched between the layer substrate and the second projection. The connection assembly provides reliable connection.

  • Patent number: 10609817
    Abstract: A wiring-buried glass substrate includes a glass substrate and a first wiring. The glass substrate includes a first surface, a second surface perpendicular to the first surface, and a third surface facing the first surface. The first wiring includes a first pillar portion and a first beam portion. The first pillar portion extends in a first direction perpendicular to the first surface of the glass substrate. The first beam portion is connected to a first surface of the first pillar portion and extends to a second direction perpendicular to a second surface of the glass substrate. The first wiring is buried in the glass substrate. The first surface of the first beam portion is exposed from a third surface of the glass substrate.

  • Publication number: 20170089941
    Abstract: A sensor includes an upper lid layer, a lower lid layer, and a sensor layer disposed between the upper lid layer and the lower lid layer. One of the upper lid layer and the lower lid layer includes an insulative region mainly made of glass, a via-electrode covered with the insulative region, and an outer circumferential region mainly made of silicon and provided at an outer circumference of the insulative region. This sensor allows reducing outer dimensions of a wafer, which is a material for the sensor.
