A Modular Mems Accelerometer Concept
Presently, main applications can be found in the automotive market segment (e.g. front and side airbag sensors, ESP respectively chassis stabilization, active suspension, roll over detection). However, low-g sensors enter also new application areas like inclinometry and vibration sensing for instance for anti-theft devices or activity monitoring for pacemaker control. Like in the microelectroni...
متن کاملMEMS Accelerometer Readout
You work in a characterization laboratory af a MEMS company, and you have to design an electronic board in order to test a given capacitive accelerometer. The application of the sensor is vibration monitoring on a mechanical engine in a specific frequency range (from 40 Hz to 400 Hz). The MEMS device has a mass of 8nK g , a mechanical stiffness of 5N /m and a quality factor Q = 2. The capacitiv...
متن کاملDescription of and Results from a Novel Direct Magnetic Gradiometer
Nearly all magnetic gradiometers in use utilise two magnetometers, separated along a base line, differencing a measured total magnetic field. Taking the difference in the magnetic field strength at those two locations gives an estimate of the magnetic gradient. Difficulties in cancelling out the huge magnetic field of the Earth (30000 – 50000 nT compared to gradients signals measured in nT/m) a...
متن کاملA Wafer Level Vacuum Encapsulated Capacitive Accelerometer Fabricated in an Unmodified Commercial MEMS Process
We present the design and fabrication of a single axis low noise accelerometer in an unmodified commercial MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) process. The new microfabrication process, MEMS Integrated Design for Inertial Sensors (MIDIS), introduced by Teledyne DALSA Inc. allows wafer level vacuum encapsulation at 10 milliTorr which provides a high Quality factor and reduces noise interferenc...
متن کاملA 1 mG lateral CMOS-MEMS accelerometer
This paper reports a lateral CMOS-MEMS accelerometer with a measured noise floor of 1mG/ and a dynamic range larger than 13G. The accelerometer is fully compatible with conventional CMOS processes enabling the integration of most of the conditioning circuits. It is fabricated in a three metal layer 0.5μm CMOS process followed by a two-step dry etch release. An improved curl matching technique i...
