Abstract
A force sensor chip of the present invention is for detecting an external force, and comprises a base member including an action portion where the external force is applied, a support portion that supports the action portion therearound, and a connecting portion that connects the action portion and the support portion together, a plurality of strain detecting resistive elements that are formed at respective deformation producing portions of the base member which deform when the external force is applied, and a thin-film resistor that is formed at upper layers of the strain detecting resistive elements with a resistive-element wiring and an interlayer insulation film intervening between the thin-film resistor and the strain detecting resistive elements.
