Patent ID: 7210348

Claim:
A semiconductor dynamic quantity sensor formed in a semiconductor layer supported over a supporting substrate, comprising: moving parts displaceable in a predetermined direction over said supporting substrate; and a beam portion for connecting said supporting substrate and said moving parts, wherein said beam portion includes at least three beams arranged in parallel and connected together at first end portions by a connecting portion, wherein said beams bend in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of said beams, wherein two outer side beams of said at least three beams have an equal length and are fixed at an other end portions to said supporting substrate, wherein said moving parts are connected to the other end portion of another beam not among said two outer side beams of said at least three beams, and wherein the two outer side beams and said connecting portion have a parameter (A/B)/(T/L) equal to at least 20, wherein L represents a length of the two outer side beams in said beam portion, T represents a width of said two outer side beams, B represents a width of said connecting portion in said beam portion, and A represents a thickness of said connecting portion.
