Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a semiconductor sensor capable of detecting the movement of a target to be detected that uses a simpler constitution, without requiring special semiconductor processes. SOLUTION: A sensor apparatus 1 has a diaphragm 10, elastically deforming by a deformation volume, according to the intensity of working external force and a pedestal 20 for elastically deformably supporting the diaphragm 10, and has, at the rear of the diaphragm 10 (more accurately, a deforming part 10b), a piezoelectric element 30 as a means for detecting the deformation volume of the deforming part 10b, at a position where the thickness increases rapidly. It further has a magnet 40, formed into an appropriate shape and of a material, substantially at the center at the rear of the deforming part 10b of the diaphragm 10. The rotation of a gear, rotating with rotation of a rotary shaft (not shown), is detected via a microcomputer (detecting means) 50, based on the output voltage from the piezoelectric element 30, and the pressure of the atmosphere surrounding the sensor apparatus 1 is also detected.
