This paper proposes a novel bulk-micromachined MEMS accelerometer employing split interdigitated sense fingers that provide a fully differential signal interface, where the accelerometer can be fabricated by a modified silicon-on-glass process using a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer. The accelerometer combines the feasibility of fabricating large mass and high aspect ratio structures using bulk-micromachining together with the highly sensitive split interdigitated sense finger triplets that are connected with multilayer metal interconnects on an SOI-glass bonded wafer. The fabricated accelerometer is packaged for system level tests with a fourth-order Sigma-Delta readout circuitry to evaluate its performance. The measurement results show that the accelerometer achieves a bias instability of 50 mu g and a velocity random walk of 11.5 mu g/root Hz. The accelerometer operates in a range of +/- 5 g with a nonlinearity of 1140 ppm

A bulk-micromachined fully-differential MEMS accelerometer with interdigitated fingers
Aydin, Osman; Akın, Tayfun (2012-10-31)
This paper proposes a novel bulk-micromachined MEMS accelerometer employing interdigitated sense fingers that provide a fully-differential (FD) signal interface, where the accelerometer can be fabricated by a modified Silicon-on-Glass (M-SOG) process utilizing a <;111>; Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) wafer. The accelerometer combines the feasibility of fabricating large mass and high aspect ratio structures using bulk-micromachining together with the high sensitive interdigitated sense finger triplets that are ...
A simple out of plane capacitive MEMS accelerometer utilizing lateral and vertical electrodes for differential sensing
Terzioglu, Yunus; Kose, Talha; Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (2015-11-01)
This paper presents an out-of-plane (z-axis) accelerometer, which incorporates the use of two different MEMS capacitive electrode structures in combination for implementing a linear closed-loop system. During the implementation, the complexity of the design and fabrication steps of the sensing element is kept at a minimum. The proposed accelerometer uses capacitive MEMS sensing element fabricated with a 4-mask process. This sensing element includes a comb finger type lateral electrode and a vertical paralle...
A symmetric surface micromachined gyroscope with decoupled oscillation modes
Alper, Said Emre; Akın, Tayfun (2001-06-14)
This paper reports a new symmetric gyroscope structure that allows not only matched resonant frequencies for the drive and sense vibration modes for better resolution, but also decoupled drive and sense oscillation modes for preventing unstable operation due to mechanical coupling. The symmetry and decoupling features are achieved at the same time with a new suspension beam design. The gyroscope structure is designed using a standard three-layer polysilicon surface micromachining process (MUMPs) and simulat...
A Capacitive MEMS Accelerometer Readout with Concurrent Detection and Feedback Using Discrete Components
Terzioglu, Yunus; Alper, Said Emre; Azgın, Kıvanç; Akın, Tayfun (2014-05-08)
This paper presents an analog readout method for capacitive MEMS accelerometers in which the feedback actuation and capacitive detection are achieved simultaneously on the same electrode set. The presented circuit operates in closed-loop for improved linearity, and it is constructed in a hybrid platform package in which off-the-shelf discrete components are used together with the silicon-on-glass micro-accelerometer. The system is developed as a practical solution to reduce the complexity of the readout cir...
A Bulk-Micromachined Three-Axis Capacitive MEMS Accelerometer on a Single Die
TEZ, SERDAR; Aykutlu, Ulas; Torunbalci, Mustafa Mert; Akın, Tayfun (2015-10-01)
This paper presents a high-performance three-axis capacitive microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer implemented by fabricating individual lateral and vertical differential accelerometers in the same die. The fabrication process is based on the formation of a glass-silicon-glass multi-stack. First, a 35-mu m thick < 111 > silicon structural layer of an Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) wafer is patterned with deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and attached on a base glass substrate with anodic bonding, wh...
