- both ends of the vibrator electrode 61 that is, anchor portions supporting the vibrating portion 61a are provided.
- the transducer electrode 61 can be reliably supported by the interlayer insulating film 9 and the insulating film 51. And only the vibrating part can contribute to the vibration.
- the voltage of the predetermined frequency is applied to vibrate the vibrator electrode 61, only the beam (vibrating portion) 6la vibrates due to the vibration.
