PHYSICAL QUANTITY SENSOR ELEMENT, PHYSICAL QUANTITY SENSOR, ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT, AND MOVABLE BODY
First Claim
1. A physical quantity sensor element comprising:
- a driving portion which vibrates in a first direction along a first axis orthogonal to a reference surface;
a detecting portion which vibrates in a second direction along a second axis in the reference surface due to an inertial force acting on the driving portion;
a first beam portion which connects the driving portion and the detecting portion with each other;
a fixing portion; and
a second beam portion which connects the detecting portion and the fixing portion,wherein a spring constant of the first beam portion in the first direction is smaller than a spring constant of the second beam portion in the first direction, andwherein a spring constant of the second beam portion in the first direction is greater than a spring constant of the second beam portion in the second direction.

Abstract
A physical quantity sensor element is formed into a plane-shape which extends along an XY plane, and is provided with a driving portion which vibrates in a Z-axis direction, a detecting portion which vibrates in an X-axis direction due to Coriolis effect acting on the driving portion, a beam portion which connects the driving portion and the detecting portion, a fixing portion, and a beam portion which connects the detecting portion and the fixing portion, in which a spring constant of the beam portion in the Z-axis direction is smaller than a spring constant of the beam portion in the Z-axis direction, and a spring constant of the beam portion in the Z-axis direction is greater than a spring constant of the beam portion in the X-axis direction.
