A semiconductor dynamic quantity sensor includes a semiconductor substrate that includes a movable electrode, a pair of first fixed electrodes, and a pair of second fixed electrodes. The first and second pairs of first detection capacitances and the first and second pairs of second detection capacitances are formed by the electrodes. The dynamic quantity related to the force applied to the sensor is measured on the basis of the sum of the differential output between the first pair of the first detection capacitances, the differential output between the second pair of the first detection capacitances, the differential output between the first pair of the second detection capacitances, and the differential output between the second pair of the second detection capacitances, when the movable electrode moves along the first direction or the second direction under the force. The sum includes a relatively small amount of noises. |
