Abstract
A dynamic quantity sensor device includes: first and second dynamic quantity sensors having first and second dynamic quantity detecting units; and first and second substrates, which are bonded to each other to provide first and second spaces. The first and second units are air-tightly accommodated in the first and second spaces, respectively. A SOI layer of the first substrate is divided into multiple semiconductor regions by trenches. First and second parts of the semiconductor regions provide the first and second units, respectively. The second part includes: a second movable semiconductor region having a second movable electrode, which is provided by a sacrifice etching of the embedded oxide film; and a second fixed semiconductor region having a second fixed electrode. The second sensor detects the second dynamic quantity by measuring a capacitance between the second movable and fixed electrodes, which is changeable in accordance with the second dynamic quantity.
