A Compact Angular Rate Sensor System Using a Fully Decoupled Silicon-on-Glass MEMS Gyroscope
Alper, Said Emre; Temiz, Yuksel; Akın, Tayfun (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-12-01)
This paper presents the development of a compact single-axis angular rate sensor system employing a 100-mu m-thick single-crystal silicon microelectromechanical systems gyroscope with an improved decoupling arrangement between the drive and sense modes. The improved decoupling arrangement of the gyroscope enhances the robustness of sensing frame against drive-mode oscillations and therefore minimizes mechanical crosstalk between the drive and sense modes, yielding a small bias instability. The gyroscope cor...
A Microbolometer detector based on a sol-gel technology
Dervişoğlu, Özgecan; Akın, Tayfun; Durucan, Caner; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2013)
The objective of this study is to develop a high performance bolometric material for microbolometers. The bolometric material to be developed was chosen as vanadium oxide due to its high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), low 1/f noise performance, and read out integrated circuit (ROIC) compatible resistivity. Among various deposition techniques, sol-gel method was decided to be implemented because of its various advantages such as simpler instrumentation, attainability of good chemical homogeneit...
A mu g resolution microaccelerometer system with a second-order Sigma-Delta readout circuitry
Kepenek, Reha; Ocak, Ilker Ender; Külah, Haluk; Akın, Tayfun (2008-06-25)
This paper reports a 2(nd) order electromechanical sigma-delta accelerometer system. Accelerometer is fabricated using Dissolved Wafer Process, and has a structural thickness of 15 mu m. A large proof mass is used to decrease the mechanical noise of the accelerometer and 306 fingers per side are used to increase the sensitivity and operation range of the accelerometer. In order to obtain a high resolution, low noise accelerometer system, a fully differential, closed loop, oversampled sigma-delta capacitive ...

A high-performance silicon-on-insulator MEMS gyroscope operating at atmospheric pressure
Alper, Said Emre; Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (Elsevier BV, 2007-03-30)
This paper presents a new, high-performance silicon-on-insulator (SOI) MEMS gyroscope with decoupled oscillation modes. The gyroscope structure allows it to achieve matched-resonance-frequencies, large drive-mode oscillation amplitude, high sense-mode quality factor, and low mechanical cross-talk. The gyroscope is fabricated through the commercially available SOIMUMPS process of MEMSCAP Inc. The fabricated gyroscope has minimum capacitive sense gaps of 2.6 mu m and a structural silicon thickness of 25 mu m,...
