Abstract
An ultrasonic sensor includes: a first substrate including an ultrasonic element; a first electrode and a second electrode on the first substrate; a second substrate having a through-hole that penetrates from a first surface facing the first substrate to a second surface; and a gap material that separates the first substrate and the second substrate from each other, in which in a plan view from a +Z direction, the through-hole overlaps with the first electrode and the second electrode, and the gap material surrounds the through-hole, the through-hole has a narrow portion, and a width of the narrow portion is smaller than a width of the through-hole in the first surface, in a direction orthogonal to the +Z direction.
