Abstract

A compact and light semiconductor sensor for detecting pressure and acceleration. A pressure sensor is formed on a first surface of an intermediate plate. An acceleration sensor is formed on a second surface of the intermediate plate. A first plate having a diaphragm is bonded to the intermediate plate to define a hermetic chamber of the pressure sensor. A second plate is bonded to the second surface of the intermediate plate. A spring support supports the mass in a manner relatively movable with respect to the second plate.
