Abstract

In a method for producing a semiconductor dynamic sensor, an anisotropic etching mask is formed on a (100) crystal orientation silicon substrate with a main portion and form-compensation portions formed at the corners of the main portion. Each of the form-compensation portions has a rectangular shape with a long side and a short side. Further, one of the long and short sides of the etching mask stretches in the <011> direction of the silicon substrate, and the other side stretches in the <011> direction of the silicon substrate. As a result, the silicon substrate can be etched into a predetermined shape without making large corner-undercut portions on a nonetched portion corresponding to the main portion of the mask.
