Abstract
A semiconductor accelerometer includes a package containing damping liquid. A base is fixedly disposed within the package. A semiconductor plate is disposed within the package and is supported on the base. The semiconductor plate has a movable free end and a deformable diaphragm. A semiconductor strain gauge is associated with the diaphragm and deforms in accordance with deformation of the diaphragm. The base has a first surface opposing the semiconductor plate free end. The first surface of the base has a recess for limiting movement of the semiconductor plate free end. The recess extends to and opens at a second surface of the base which differs from the first surface.
