An angular velocity sensor includes: a frame including a pair of first beams extending in a first direction and opposed to each other in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction, a pair of second beams extending in the second direction and opposed to each other in the first direction, and connections between those pairs; a drive unit that vibrates the frame in a first plane, to which the first and second directions belong, in a vibration mode in which when one pair of those pairs move closer to each other, the other move away from each other, and vice versa; a first detector that detects, based on the amount of deformation of the frame in the first plane, an angular velocity around an axis of a third direction orthogonal to the first plane; and a support mechanism including a base portion and joint portions.

Disclosed is an angular velocity sensor. The angular velocity sensor includes a first layer, a piezoelectric layer, and a second layer. The first layer has a first main surface and a second main surface, and includes a vibrator portion and a base portion that supports the vibrator portion. The piezoelectric layer is formed on the first main surface of the first layer. The second layer is integrally bonded to the base portion on a side of the second main surface of the first layer.

A drive electrode to which a voltage for allowing a vibrator to vibrate is applied and first and second detection electrodes extending in the longitudinal direction of the vibrator in parallel to each other are formed as the upper electrode such that the drive electrode is interposed between the first and second detection electrodes and does not contact with the detection electrodes. In the case where there is a difference between the detection signals detected in the first and second detection electrodes when a voltage is applied between the lower electrode and drive electrode to allow the vibrator to vibrate at a vertical resonance frequency, a laser light is irradiated to a desired portion of the vibrator to apply grinding operation based on detection signals detected in the first and second detection electrodes, thereby adjusting the shape of the vibrator.

Solar cell manufacturing method in which a silicon wafer is coated with an antireflection coating of silicon nitride by means of plasma CVD deposition with the silicon wafer kept at a temperature between 250.degree. C. and 600.degree. C. The coating of silicon nitride at such a high temperature results in a decrease in the recombination speed of the minority carriers produced in the silicon wafer during time of light incidence. The conversion efficiency is thus increased to a value ranging from 11.04% to 12.56%.

An angular velocity sensor includes an annular frame, a drive part, and a detection part. The frame has first beams and second beams. The first beams extend in an a-axis direction and are opposed to each other in a b-axis direction orthogonal to the a-axis direction. The second beams extend in the b-axis direction and are opposed to each other in the a-axis direction. The drive part causes the frame to oscillate within an XY plane to which the a-axis and the b-axis belong, in an oscillation mode where, when one of the first and second beams come closer to each other, the other separates from each other. The detection part detects an angular velocity around an axis in the Z-axis direction orthogonal to the XY plane, based on an amount of deformation of the frame oscillating in the oscillation mode within the XY plane.

In a plated member (3) that has a pure Sn plating layer (2) of a lead-free material on a surface of a base material 1, the orientation indices of a (101) plane and a (112) plane of the pure Sn plating layer are increased to values higher than the orientation indices of the other crystal orientation planes.

An angular velocity sensor includes a base portion, three arm portions that extend as one piece from the base portion to an approximately same direction, a piezoelectric film formed on one surface of each of the arm portions, drive electrodes for excitation formed on the piezoelectric films of at least two outer arm portions, and detection electrodes for angular velocity detection formed on the piezoelectric film of at least a center arm portion. Among the three arm portions, the two outer arm portions are excited in phase, and the center arm portion is excited in opposite phase with the two outer arm portions. The drive electrodes excite the arm portions in a first direction vertical to surfaces on which the piezoelectric films are formed. The detection electrodes detect a vibration in a second direction parallel to the surfaces on which the piezoelectric films of the arm portions are formed.
