Abstract

A semiconductor substrate, provided with a differential pressure diaphragm, and a glass pedestal, which is provided on the bottom side of the semiconductor substrate, are provided, wherein: the bottom surface of the semiconductor substrate and the top surface of the glass pedestal are bonded together; a pressure introducing hole is formed in the glass pedestal so as to pass through the glass pedestal, connecting between the top and bottom surfaces of the glass pedestal; the pressure introducing hole is formed with a first diameter for the pressure introducing hole at the bottom surface of the glass pedestal from the bottom surface of the glass pedestal to a first position; and a second diameter for the pressure introducing hole at the top surface of the glass pedestal is larger than the first diameter; where a metal thin film layer is deposited on the bottom surface of the glass pedestal.
