Abstract
A gyro sensor includes: a substrate; a fixed portion that is fixed to the substrate; a driving portion that is driven in a first direction oriented along a first axis; a mass portion that is connected to the driving portion and is displaced in the first direction; and an elastic portion that is connected to the mass portion and the fixed portion. The mass portion includes a detection portion that is displaceable in a second direction oriented along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis by a Coriolis force to act. An outer circumference surface of the elastic portion includes a main surface, a side surface, and a connection surface connecting the main surface to the side surface. The connection surface has a curved surface portion with a curved surface shape.
