Semiconductor sensor
First Claim
1. A semiconductor sensor comprising:
- a proof mass;
a frame that is arranged around the proof mass;
a beam that is arranged at a surface side of the frame and is configured to support the proof mass;
a plurality of piezo-resistive elements arranged on the beam;
a plurality of metal wiring patterns and a plurality of pad electrodes which metal wiring patterns and pad electrodes are arranged on the surface of the frame and are electrically connected to the piezo-resistive elements;
a cover plate that is fixed to the surface of the frame and is arranged to be spaced apart from the proof mass and the beam; and
a cover plate fixing region for fixing the cover plate to the surface of the frame, the cover plate fixing region including a formation region for the metal wiring patterns.
