A pressure sensor has two sensor elements respectively disposed in different pressure spaces A and B. Each of the sensor elements has a semiconductor substrate having a pressure reference chamber therein, a diaphragm formed as a wall defining the pressure reference chamber, and gauges for converting deformation of the diaphragm into an electric signal. The two sensor elements overlap with each other at sides opposite to the respective diaphragms, and close a hole formed in a partition member partitioning the two pressure spaces A and B. A differential pressure between the pressure spaces A and B is detected as a relative pressure by a difference between outputs from the two sensor elements.
