Abstract

A semiconductor sensor comprising a semiconductor substrate and a glass substrate. The semiconductor substrate includes a support member having an opening centrally defined therein, a diaphragm positioned in the opening of the support member, and a flexible supporting means for supporting and coupling the diaphragm and the support member. The glass substrate includes a portion facing the diaphragm and the supporting means and at least one recess defined in this portion which faces the entirety of the supporting means. The glass substrate also includes a metal layer deposited on a surface of the glass substrate and a dielectric layer deposited on the metal layer such that the dielectric layer faces the diaphragm.
