Abstract

A semiconductor pressure sensor includes a diaphragm; a resistor provided on a top surface of the diaphragm; an insulating film formed on the diaphragm and the resistor having a penetrating part exposing a top surface of the resistor; and a wiring pattern formed from the top surface of the resistor exposed by the penetrating part to a top surface of the insulating film; wherein a distance between a first crossing part where a plane orthogonal to the top surface of the diaphragm meets a top end of a side plane of the penetrating part and a second crossing part where the plane orthogonal to the top surface of the diaphragm meets a bottom of the side plane of the penetrating part is equal or greater than a thickness of the insulating film by a factor of a square root of two.
