Abstract
An angular velocity sensor comprising a fixed part, a weight coupled with the fixed part via a flexible part having a bending part, a first electrode disposed outside the bending part, and a second electrode disposed inside the bending part, in which the first electrode and the second electrode have an upper electrode and a lower electrode interposed by a piezoelectric layer, respectively, and the width of the first electrode is smaller than the width of the second electrode, and the difference of the amounts of electric charges generated at the first electrode and the second electrode can be suppressed thereby improving the accuracy of detection.
