Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a sensor includes a base including a first base region and a second base region, and an element section. The element section includes a fixed electrode fixed to the second base region, a first fixed member fixed to the first base region, a first intermediate member supported by the first fixed member, a first connecting member supported by the first intermediate member, a movable portion, and a first support member. The first connecting member includes a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a third connecting portion. The movable portion is connected to the second connecting portion. The movable portion includes a movable electrode. A first gap is provided between the fixed electrode and the movable portion. The first support member is fixed to the base. The first support member supports the third connecting portion.
