Embodiment Construction

[0026] Among other things, the present inventors have recognized a micromechanical monolithic three-axis gyroscope configured to utilize a central A single fixed mass is used to detect angular rates around all three axes.

[0027] In one embodiment, the unique mass and compliant bearing structure disclosed in this application may allow triaxial angular rate detection with single drive mode vibration (requiring only one drive control loop for all axes). Thus, the complexity and cost of the control electronics in the three-axis gyroscope disclosed in this application is significantly reduced compared to existing multi-axis gyroscopes that use three separate drive loops.

[0028] Furthermore, the present inventors have recognized, among other things, a micromachined three-axis accelerometer configured to utilize a centrally fixed A single-mass to detect acceleration along all three axes.

[0029] In one embodiment, the unique mass and flexible bearing structure disclosed in thi...

Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, a cap wafer and a via wafer configured to encapsulate a single proof-mass 3-axis gyroscope formed in an x-y plane of a device layer. The single proof-mass 3-axis gyroscope can include a main proof-mass section suspended about a single, central anchor, the main proof-mass section including a radial portion extending outward towards an edge of the 3-axis gyroscope sensor, a central suspension system configured to suspend the 3-axis gyroscope from the single, central anchor, and a drive electrode including a moving portion and a stationary portion, the moving portion coupled to the radial portion, wherein the drive electrode and the central suspension system are configured to oscillate the 3-axis gyroscope about a z-axis normal to the x-y plane at a drive frequency.
