Abstract

A physical quantity sensor includes a pair of physical quantity sensor chips that are inclined with respect to the bottom of an exterior mold package whose side surfaces are each inclined in a thickness direction by an angle ranging from 0° to 5° and are formed in proximity to the outer ends of the physical quantity sensor chips. It is possible to realize the inclination of stages without using molds, wherein absorption devices are used to absorb prescribed portions related to stages, which rotate about axial lines and are thus inclined with respect to a prescribed base. In manufacturing, a thin metal plate having a plurality of lead frames is placed on a base delimited by a clamp; then, intersecting points of intermediate portions formed between the lead frames are subjected to pressing so as to realize the inclination of stages.
