Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sensor includes a first sensor part. The first sensor part includes a first counter electrode, a first movable electrode, a first layer, and a first intermediate layer. The first movable electrode is between the first counter electrode and the first layer. The first intermediate layer is between the first movable electrode and a portion of the first layer. A first gap is located between the first counter electrode and the first movable electrode. A distance between the first counter electrode and the first movable electrode changes according to a concentration of a gas around the first sensor part. The first layer includes a crystal. The first intermediate layer is amorphous, or a crystallinity of the first intermediate layer is less than a crystallinity of the first layer. A width of the first layer is greater than a width of the first intermediate layer.
