ABSTRACT:
Force detection devices may have high detection precision and may prevent current leakage through a strain gage126to the outside. For example, a force detection block120may include a semiconductor substrate122, a first insulating layer124and a semiconductor layer126(strain gage). The strain gage126preferably includes a site where resistance changes in accordance with the stress acting thereon. The strain gage126preferably constitutes at least a portion of a ridge130projects from the surface of the force detection block120. A force transmission block138may be attached to a top surface of the ridge130. The width of the first insulating layer124is preferably greater than the width of the semiconductor layer126.
