A capacitive pressure sensor includes: a conductive silicon substrate having a diaphragm; an insulating substrate having a fixed electrode, the insulating substrate overlapping the conductive silicon substrate so as to be bonded thereto; and a sealed chamber formed between the diaphragm and the fixed electrode. A conductive silicon member is buried in a part of the insulating substrate, a portion of the conductive silicon member is exposed toward a surface of the insulating substrate facing the sealed chamber so as to form the fixed electrode, and another portion of the conductive silicon member is exposed toward the other surface of the insulating substrate not facing the sealed chamber so as to form a lead electrode of the fixed electrode.
