Abstract
A capacitive pressure sensor and its manufacturing method are disclosed. An amplifier is formed on the main surface of a first semiconductor substrate by a diffusion process, and its surface is covered with an insulating film. An electrode is vapor-deposited on the surface of the amplifier and electrically connected to the amplifier through a through hole formed in the insulating film. For forming a diaphragm, the surface of a second semiconductor substrate disposed facing the electrode to form a capacitor, which is opposite to the surface of the second semiconductor substrate facing the electrode, is partially etched away to form a depression. The first and second semiconductor substrates are anodically bonded to each other using a glass layer.
