    Abstract: A protective film (20) of an SiO2 thin film is formed on a front surface of an Si substrate (12), and a part of the protective film (20) is removed to form an etching window (22). A sacrifice layer (23) of polycrystalline Si is formed in the etching window (22). A protective film (24) of SiO2 is formed on the front surface of the Si substrate (12) from the top of the sacrifice layer (23), and a thin film (13) as an element formed of polycrystalline Si is further formed on the protective film (24). A backside etching window (26) is opened in a protective film (21) on the back side of the Si substrate (12). The Si substrate (12) is soaked in TMAH to perform crystal anisotropic etching in the Si substrate (12) through the backside etching window (26) to provide a through-hole (14) in the Si substrate (12).; When the sacrifice layer (23) is exposed to the interior of the through-hole (14), the sacrifice layer (23) is etching-removed to provide a gap (19) between the protective film (24) and the Si substrate (12) and crystal anisotropic etching of the Si substrate (12) is carried out from its front side and backside.

    Abstract: Provided is an acoustic sensor capable of improving an S/N ratio of a sensor without preventing reduction in size of the sensor. A back chamber 45 is vertically opened in a silicon substrate 42. A thin film-like diaphragm 43 to serve as a movable electrode plate is formed on the top surface of the substrate 42 so as to cover the back chamber 45. The back plate 48 is fixed to the top surface of the substrate 42 so as to cover the diaphragm 43, and a fixed electrode plate 49 is provided on the under surface of the back plate 48. Further, the diaphragm 43 is divided into a plurality of areas by the slit 47, and the respective plurally divided diaphragms 43a, 43b and the fixed electrode plate 49 constitute a plurality of parallelly connected capacitors (acoustic sensing sections 60a, 60b).
