Abstract
A sensor chip connected to a signal processing IC is provided on a die pad, a stationary electrode and a movable electrode are arranged on a semiconductor substrate of the sensor chip, the stationary electrode and movable electrode are covered with a protective cap, a shield electrode layer is embedded in a top face part of a semiconductor substrate, and these elements are sealed with a sealing resin, thus, a potential of the movable electrode is obtained from an output potential of a capacity/voltage conversion circuit of a signal processing IC, and at least one of the shield electrode layer and protective cap is electrically connected to the movable electrode to thereby make identical to each other in potential.
