Abstract

The physical quantity sensor includes a substrate having several areas, a movable body, and a detection electrode. The detection electrode straddles the several areas. When setting a first imaginary straight line which is the smallest in an angle formed with an X-axis direction of imaginary straight lines connecting two of end parts on respective areas of the detection electrode, and a second imaginary straight line extending along a principal surface of the movable body in a maximum displacement state around the oscillation axis, the first and second imaginary straight lines fail to cross each other in an area between a first normal line which passes the end part of the first one of the several areas and a second normal line which passes the end part of the last one of the several areas.
