Physical quantity sensor having multiple through holes

摘要

A semiconductor physical quantity sensor includes: a substrate; a semiconductor layer supported on the substrate; a trench disposed in the semiconductor layer; and a movable portion disposed in the semiconductor layer and separated from the substrate by the trench. The movable portion includes a plurality of through-holes, each of which penetrates the semiconductor layer in a thickness direction. The movable portion is capable of displacing on the basis of a physical quantity applied to the movable portion so that the physical quantity is detected by a displacement of the movable portion. The movable portion has a junction disposed among the through-holes. The junction has a trifurcate shape.
