In an electrostatic capacitance type transducer which has a substrate, a movable electrode confrontingly placed to the substrate in a movable manner through a space, a fixed electrode arranged on a detecting face confronting the movable electrode of the substrate, and a signal receiving portion which is conductive with the fixed electrode and derived from the detecting face of the substrate, the fixed electrode and the signal receiving portion are made of metals which are different with each other in their compositions. That is, the fixed electrode is made of metal which has a high corrosion resistance and is not likely to outbreak a hillock, and the signal receiving portion is made of metal which is easy for bonding. Alternatively, both the fixed electrode and the signal receiving portion are made of titanium. Through this, since the outbreak of the hillock can be prevented, the displacement of the movable electrode can be stably and precisely detected for a long time, and the shortening of the life of the fixed electrode caused by corrosion can be prevented. As to the signal receiving portion, an excellent bonding property can be ensured.

Electrostatic capacitance type transducer

The present invention provides an electrostatic capacitance type transducer and a method for producing the same, with the ensured sufficient connecting strength and insulation between a movable electrode and a fixed electrode and smooth production. In the electrostatic capacitance type transducer having: a substrate; a movable electrode placed on the opposite side of a space from the substrate and having displacement in relation to the substrate; and a fixed electrode formed on a detecting face of the substrate which is opposite to the movable electrode, an insulation film is formed on the approximately whole surface, including the fixed electrode, of the detecting face of the substrate, in which the substrate and the movable electrode are connected through the insulation film to each other by means of the anode-contact.
