Abstract

An inertial sensor includes a sensing portion having a weight supported by beams, the weight being a movable portion, and a weight stopper that limits a movable range of the weight, the weight stopper being arranged in a vicinity of the weight with a given clearance and being a part of a substrate for the inertial sensor processed with MEMS techniques.
