ABSTRACT:
Capacitance sensor electrodes are arranged in a form of matrix on a semiconductor substrate and coated with a cover film. These capacitance sensor electrodes are connected to a drive circuit. ESD electrodes are arranged in the vicinities of corner portions of the capacitance sensor electrodes. Each ESD electrode is composed of a film containing, for example, aluminum excellent in conductivity and a TiN film formed thereon. The ESD electrodes are grounded through the semiconductor substrate. On each ESD electrode, a plurality of fine ESD holes reaching the ESD electrode from a surface of the cover film are formed.
