Abstract

See full text

A pressure sensor includes a sensor main body having a cavity, a cantilever having a lever main body and lever support-portion, which is bent according to a pressure difference between the cavity and sensor outside main body, and a displacement detection unit detects cantilever displacement based on resistance variation in resistance values of the main body-resistance portion formed in the lever main body and lever-resistance portion formed in the lever support-portion. A division groove is formed in the lever support; the division divides the lever-resistance portion into a first resistance portion electrically connected to a detection-electrode in series and second resistance portion closer to other adjacent lever support-portion than the first resistance portion. The first resistance portion of the lever support-portion electrically connected to the detection-electrode via a parallel path of a first path passing through the main body-resistance portion and second path passing through the second resistance portion.
