    Abstract: A method and device for calibrating a magnetometer device. In an embodiment, the present invention provides a method to automatically calibrate a magnetometer device in the background with only limited movement in each of the three axis (approximately 20 degrees in each direction). A device implementing the present method will never get stuck in a lock-up state. Embodiments of the present invention provide a conservative and accurate magnetometer status indicator that is essential for indoor navigation using inertial sensors. The implemented algorithm is relatively low computationally intensive and is intelligent enough to know when it has the right kind and right amount of magnetic data before it initiates a calibration.

    Abstract: A method for fabricating an integrated MEMS-CMOS device uses a micro-fabrication process that realizes moving mechanical structures (MEMS) on top of a conventional CMOS structure by bonding a mechanical structural wafer on top of the CMOS and etching the mechanical layer using plasma etching processes, such as Deep Reactive Ion Etching (DRIE). During etching of the mechanical layer, CMOS devices that are directly connected to the mechanical layer are exposed to plasma. This sometimes causes permanent damage to CMOS circuits and is termed Plasma Induced Damage (PID). Embodiments of the present invention presents methods and structures to prevent or reduce this PID and protect the underlying CMOS circuits by grounding and providing an alternate path for the CMOS circuits until the MEMS layer is completely etched.
