Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an electrostatic capacity sensor with the leak current between counter electrodes reduced, by separating a semiconductor substrate and counter electrodes from each other by an insulating film. CONSTITUTION:An oxide film 8 is formed on the surface of a poly crystalline silicon substrate 7, and counter electrodes 9 and 10 consisting of P type single crystal silicon having surface bearing (100) are arranged at constant intervals. These counter electrodes 9 and 10 are separated from each other with air layers by anisotropic etching, and an oxide film 11 is formed on the etching face. Low resistance layers 12 of high density regions are formed on the top surface of counter electrodes 9 and 10, and these low resistance layers 12 are used as connection parts to connect aluminium electrodes 13 and 14 to counter electrodes 9 and 10. Since counter electrodes 9 and 10 are insulated and separated by the insulating film 8 and the poly crystalline silicon substrate 7, the leak current between counter electrodes is reduced, and this sensor is strong against humidity and dirt and detects stably an electrostatic capacity even if the sensor is put in a high temperature medium.
