摘要: An acceleration sensor comprises an acceleration sensor element having a mass portion in the center, a thick frame surrounding the mass portion and a plurality of elastic support arms bridging the mass portion and the thick frame, and an upper regulation plate covering the acceleration sensor element and fixed on the thick frame with adhesive. The mass portion has, on the mass portion upper surface, connection portions connecting the mass portion with each of the arms, wired areas having lead wires on it and non-wired areas. The non-wired areas have a major area of the upper surface of the mass portion and are lower than the wired areas. The upper regulation plate has a first gap with the wired areas and a second gap with the non-wired areas, of which length is more than the sum of the first gap length, a lead wire thickness and 0.1 μm (preferably 1.0 μm). Even if contaminants adhere the mass portion upper surface, there is a large possibility of removing the contaminants from the upper surface when etching the non-wired areas, so that the vibration amplitude of the mass portion is scarcely lessened due to them.

摘要: An acceleration sensor in which a regulation plate is fixed with adhesive onto a support frame of a sensor chip of the sensor to limit the movement of a mass portion of the sensor chip within a predetermined gap range. In the acceleration sensor, the adhesion area of the adhesive can be controlled to a predetermined value to prevent a variation of the sensitivity due to the variation of the adhesion area. The sensor chip comprises the mass portion, the frame surrounding the mass portion and having on an upper surface of the frame a plurality of the recesses to fill adhesive into, elastic support arms bridging the mass portion and the frame, and strain gauges formed on the elastic support arms. The regulation plate is fixed with paste onto the frame with the predetermined gap with an upper surface of the mass portion. The paste contains hard plastic balls, of a diameter larger than the predetermined gap, mixed with adhesive. The adhesive is preferably of silicon-rubber resin.

In the acceleration sensor, metal wires on top surfaces of a flexible portion and a weight are arranged in grooves formed on the flexible portion top surface/weight top surface. The acceleration sensor has a structure in which the metal wires do not hit an upper regulation plate even when the weight collides with the upper regulation plate, and the offset voltage fluctuation can be avoided.

摘要: An acceleration sensor whose characteristics including sensitivity are less likely to change relative to disturbance force applied to a sensor chip. The acceleration sensor has a support frame, a weight supported within the support frame via flexible beams, semiconductor piezoresistance elements provided on the beams, and wiring interconnecting the piezoresistance elements. The acceleration sensor detects acceleration from changes in resistance of the piezoresistance elements. Stress damping sections are provided on those portions of the beams which exclude the portions where the piezoresistance elements are provided. Each stress damping section is symmetrical with respect to the point of intersection between the length center line of the beam and the width center line of the beam. When disturbance force is applied to a sensor element in the direction in which the entire each of the beams extends, the stress damping sections absorbs the disturbance force. Because stress imposed in the direction in which the entire each of the beams extends becomes minimally changeable, and the deformability of the beam also becomes difficult to change, and this reduces the change in the sensitivity of the acceleration sensor caused by disturbance force.

摘要: A free fall detection device capable of detecting a fall accompanied by rotation is provided. A fall accompanied by rotation is detected based on a waveform of an acceleration signal output from the acceleration detection unit and an angular velocity signal output from the angular velocity detection unit. A gravity center acceleration of the device to be protected is calculated from the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit and from the angular velocity detected by the angular velocity detection unit. Even when the device being protected rotates as it falls, the fall of the device can be detected from the detected acceleration or angular velocity. Further, by calculating the gravity center acceleration not affected by the rotation, it is possible to detect a fall of the device with high precision even if the device rotates as it falls.
