ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a small-sized vibration type gyrosensor device of high sensitivity provided with a cantilevered oscillator. A cantilevered oscillator11, provided with a lower electrode, a piezoelectric film and an upper electrode, formed on a single-crystal silicon substrate by a thin film forming process, includes, as an upper electrode, a driving electrode6a, formed along the length of the oscillator11for applying the voltage for causing oscillations of the oscillator11, and first and second detection electrodes6b,6c, formed on both sides of the driving electrode6aparallel to the longitudinal direction of the oscillator, without contacting with the driving electrode6a. With a width W0of the driving electrode6a, a width W1of the first detection electrode6b, a width W2of the second detection electrode6cand with W=W0+W1+W2, the condition of 0.5<(W0/W)<1 is to be met.
