Abstract
A semiconductor sensor chip is provided with a weight portion supported in a frame via beams whereby acceleration up to substantially ±1 G can be detected by utilizing piezoresistance effect of resistor elements formed on the beams. The semiconductor sensor chip is supported by a seat having a thermal expansion coefficient equivalent to that of the semiconductor sensor chip via the frame. The frame and the seat are adhered to each other by a flexible adhesive agent mixed with a plurality of resin beads functioning as spacers and under an adhesion state, air damping of the weight portion is carried out by setting a dimension of an air gap between the weight portion and the seat to a range of 7 through 15 &mgr;m.
