Abstract:
A capacitive transducer includes a substrate having an opening in a surface thereof, a back plate facing the opening in the substrate, a vibration electrode film facing the back plate across a space, the vibration electrode film being deformable to have a deformation converted into a change in capacitance between the vibration electrode film and the back plate, the vibration electrode film having a through-hole as a pressure relief hole, and a protrusion integral with and formed from the same member as the back plate, the protrusion being placeable in the pressure relief hole before the vibration electrode film deforms. The pressure relief hole and the protrusion have a gap therebetween defining an airflow channel as a pressure relief channel. The protrusion has a through-hole extending from a distal portion of the protrusion to a portion of the back plate opposite to the protrusion.

Claim (Index 5):
An acoustic sensor comprising:\n the capacitive transducer according to  claim 1 , wherein the acoustic sensor is configured to convert a sound pressure into a change in capacitance between the vibration electrode film and the back plate, and detect the sound pressure.
