Abstract
A sensor device includes a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) force sensor, and a capacitive acceleration sensor. In the method of manufacturing the sensor device, a sensor portion of the MEMS force sensor is prepared over a front surface of a first substrate. The sensor portion includes a piezo-resistive element and a front electrode. A bottom electrode and a first electrode are formed on a back surface of the first substrate. A second substrate having an electrode pad and a second electrode to the bottom of the first substrate are attached such that the bottom electrode is connected to the electrode pad and the first electrode faces the second electrode with a space therebetween.
