A single crystal silicon substrate (1) is bonded through an SiO2 film (9) to a single crystal silicon substrate (8), and the single crystal silicon substrate (1) is made into a thin film. A cantilever (13) is formed on the single crystal silicon substrate (1), and the thickness of the cantilever (13) in a direction parallel to the surface of the single crystal silicon substrate (1) is made smaller than the thickness of the cantilever in the direction of the depth of the single crystal silicon substrate (1), and movable in a direction parallel to the substrate surface. In addition, the surface of the cantilever (13) and the part of the single crystal silicon substrate (1), opposing the cantilever (13), are, respectively, coated with an SiO2 film (5), so that an electrode short circuit is prevented in a capacity-type sensor. In addition, a signal-processing circuit (10) is formed on the single crystal silicon substrate (1), so that signal processing is performed as the cantilever (13) moves.

A semiconductor mechanical sensor having a new structure in which a S/N ratio is improved. In the central portion of a silicon substrate 1, a recess portion 2 is formed which includes a beam structure. A weight is formed at the tip of the beam, and in the bottom surface of the weight in the bottom surface of the recess portion 2 facing the same, an electrode 5 is formed. An alternating current electric power is applied between the weight portion 4 and the electrode 5 so that static electricity is created and the weight is excited by the static electricity. In an axial direction which is perpendicular to the direction of the excitation of the weight, an electrode 6 is disposed to face one surface of the weight and a wall surface of the substrate which faces the same. A charge in a capacitance between the facing electrodes is electrically detected, and therefore, a change in a physical force acting in the same direction is detected.

A semiconductor sensor for an accelerometer including a beam portion, consisting of a thin beam portion and a thick beam portion and supported by a solid member through the end of the thin beam portion, and a stopper portion provided at a position on an imaginary line along which a center of gravity of the thick beam portion moves. These components are integrally formed in a silicon substrate. Excessive displacement of the beam portion when excessive acceleration is applied is effectively suppressed by the stopper portion, and breakage of the thin beam portion due to excessive acceleration can be avoided.

A first polysilicon film serving as an erase gate is deposited on the major surface of a semiconductor substrate on which a field oxide film is formed, so that the surface of the first polysilicon film is roughened. The surface of the first polysilicon film is thermally oxidized to form a first thermal oxide film thereon. During the oxidation, the roughened surface of the first polysilicon film is flattened, and is duplicated by the surface of the first thermal oxide film. A second polysilicon film is deposited on the roughened surface of the first thermal oxide film. The back surface of the second polysilicon film is roughened by the roughened surface of the first thermal oxide film. In this case, the surface of the second polysilicon film is also roughened. The roughened surface of the second polysilicon film is thermally oxidized in the same manner as described above to flatten its surface and to form a second thermal oxide film, the surface of which is roughened. A third polysilicon film serving as a write gate is formed on the second thermal oxide film.
