Abstract

A sensor element according to the present technology includes a base portion, a movable portion, first and second bridge portions, and an acceleration detector unit. The movable portion is movable relative to the base portion by reception of an acceleration along at least a uniaxial direction. The first bridge portion includes a first beam and a first structure, the first beam connects the base portion and the movable portion, the first structure being provided between the first beam and the base portion and supporting the first beam. The second bridge portion includes a second beam and a second structure, the second beam extends in a second axis direction orthogonal to the first axis and parallel to the main surface and connects the base portion and the movable portion, the second structure being provided between the second beam and the base portion and supports the second beam.
