Abstract

This sensor chip comprises: a base plate; first supporting portions; a second supporting portion around which the first supporting portions are disposed, and which is disposed at the center of the base plate; first detection beams linking the first supporting portions that are adjacent to one another; force application points to which a force is applied, disposed on the first detection beams; anda plurality of strain detecting elements disposed at prescribed positions on the first detection beams. The plurality of strain detecting elements include first strain detecting elements formed on thefirst detection beams, between the first supporting portions and the force application points, wherein a second beam width, which is the width of the first detection beams in positions in which the first strain detecting elements are formed, is smaller than a first beam width, which is the width of the first detection beams in positions in which the first detection beams are linked to the first supporting portions or to the force application points. Further, the first detection beams each includes a straight-line portion, and an inclined portion linked to the straight-line portion by means ofa linking portion, and the plurality of strain detecting elements include first strain detecting elements disposed on the inclined portion side of the linking portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sensor chip and a force sensor device. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a force sensor device is known in which a plurality of strain gauges are attached to a strain body made of metal, and detects multiaxial force by converting deformation when an external force is applied into an electric signal. However, this force sensor device requires manual work to attach the strain gauges one by one, so there are problems in accuracy and productivity, and it is difficult to downsize the structure. [0003] On the other hand, a force sensor device has been proposed in which a strain gauge is replaced by a MEMS sensor chip for strain detection, thereby eliminating the problem of bonding accuracy and achieving miniaturization (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0004] prior art literature [0005] patent documents [0006] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 4011345 Contents of the invention [0007] The pr...
