Abstract
An oscillator includes a substrate, a detection flap plate which is disposed facing the substrate, and an elastically deformable beam portion which displaceably supports the detection flap plate in a Z axis direction with respect to the substrate, in which the detection flap plate is displaced to the substrate side in a range in which recovery force of the beam portion is larger than the electrostatic force which is formed between the substrate and the detection flap plate. That is, when a boundary at which electrostatic force and recovery force are equal is a pull in critical point, the detection flap plate is displaced within a region above the pull in critical point.
