Patent ID: 8299551

Claim:
A semiconductor pressure sensor comprising: a substrate having a through-hole; a polysilicon film provided on the substrate and having a diaphragm above the through-hole; an insulating film provided on the polysilicon film; first, second, third, and forth polysilicon gauge resistances provided on the insulating film and having a piezoresistor effect; and polysilicon wirings connecting the first, second, third, and forth polysilicon gauge resistances in a bridge shape, wherein each of the first and second polysilicon gauge resistances is disposed on a central portion of the diaphragm and has a plurality of resistors connected in parallel, a structure of the first polysilicon gauge resistance is same as a structure of the second polysilicon gauge resistance, and a direction of the first polysilicon gauge resistance is same as a direction of the second polysilicon gauge resistance.
