Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of MEMS sensors, and in particular to a sensor design structure. Background Art

[0002] Gyroscopes, sensors used to measure angular rate, are core components of inertial technology and are widely used in aviation, navigation, aerospace, defense, and consumer electronics. Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) gyroscopes, developed in the 1990s, have seen rapid growth due to their unique advantages, including small size, low power consumption, light weight, mass production, low price, strong overload resistance, and integration, offering broad application prospects.

[0003] MEMS gyroscopes are active devices. When powered, the system undergoes simple harmonic oscillation at a resonant point. When an angular velocity input is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion of the mass block, a Coriolis force is generated in the direction perpendicular to the mass block's motion. A corresponding representation of the angular velocity can be obtained through a detection structure and peripheral processing circuitry. Currently, the most widely used drive methods are electrostatic and piezoelectric, while detection methods are capacitive and piezoelectric.

[0004] As consumer market demand increases, MEMS gyroscopes face higher requirements for size and performance. Gyroscopes have evolved from single-axis to three-axis gyroscopes. Early three-axis gyroscopes consisted of three independent single-axis gyroscopes, requiring separate drive structures, resulting in a large overall structure. Current consumer applications generally use monolithic three-axis gyroscopes, characterized by shared drive and the rational layout of the X / Y / Z gyro masses. Despite this, three-axis gyroscopes still face problems such as large size, low integration, and large orthogonality errors. Summary of the Invention
