摘要: The present disclosure includes methods of forming capacitive sensors. One method includes forming a first electrode array of the capacitive sensor on a first structure. Forming the first electrode array can include: forming a dielectric material on a substrate material; forming an electrode material on the dielectric material; removing portions of the electrode material to form a number of electrodes separated from each other; and removing at least a portion of the dielectric material from between the number of electrodes. The method can include bonding the first structure to a second structure having a second electrode array of the capacitive sensor formed thereon such that the number of electrodes of the first electrode array face a number of electrodes of the second electrode array.

摘要: The present disclosure includes capacitive sensors and methods of forming capacitive sensors. One capacitive sensor includes a first substrate structure having a first dielectric material formed thereon and electrodes of a first electrode array formed on the first dielectric material. The sensor includes a second substrate structure facing the first substrate structure and having a second dielectric material formed thereon and electrodes of a second electrode array formed on the second dielectric material. The sensor includes a removed portion of the first dielectric material forming a recess between adjacent electrodes of the first electrode array, and the first substrate structure is moveable with respect to the second substrate structure.

摘要: The micro-mechanical device includes a substrate with an internal cavity, a first surface, and an opposing second surface. A first trench is formed from the first surface of the substrate into the internal cavity. The first trench at least partially defines flexures. A second trench is formed from the second surface of the substrate into the internal cavity and at least partially defines a suspended mass. The suspended mass is connected by the flexures to the substrate.

摘要: An accelerometer can include a support structure having situated thereupon a stator electrode array including multiple stator electrodes (e.g., A, B, and C); and a proof mass positioned parallel to the stator electrode array and capable of displacement parallel thereto. A translator electrode array facing the stator electrode array can comprise multiple translator electrodes (e.g., a and b) can be situated on the proof mass. Further included is a drive circuitry to apply drive voltages to six capacitances formed by the stator and translator electrodes. The total force exerted on the proof mass by the drive voltages is held constant at about zero.

摘要: An acceleration-sensing device having error correction includes a stator having at least one conductor affixed to a surface and a proof mass having a first conductor affixed at a first location relative to the at least one conductor affixed to a surface of the stator. The proof mass includes a second conductor affixed at a second location relative to the at least one conductor affixed to a surface of the stator, wherein an excitation signal applied to the first conductor of the proof mass brings about a force on the proof mass in the plane of motion of the proof mass that is substantially equally opposed by a force resulting from an excitation signal applied to the second conductor of the proof mass in the plane of motion of the proof mass.
