    摘要: Disclosed is a novel three-axis capacitive-type accelerometer implemented on SOI wafer. The accelerometer consists of four springs, one proof mass, four pairs of gap-closing sensing electrodes (each pair of gap-closing sensing electrode containing one movable electrode and one stationary electrode), and several metal-vias as the electrical interconnections. The movable electrodes are on the proof mass, whereas the stationary electrodes are fixed to the substrate. The three-axis accelerometer has five merits. (1) The sensitivity of the accelerometer is improved since the proof-mass is increased by containing both device and handling silicon layers; (2) The sensitivity is also improved by the gap-closing differential capacitive sensing electrodes design; (3) The parasitic capacitance at bond pad is reduced by the existing of metal-vias between the device Si layer and handling Si layer; (4) The sensing gap thickness is precisely defined by the buried oxide of SOI wafer; (5) The stationary sensing electrodes anchored to the substrate also act as the limit stops to protect the accelerometer.

    摘要: A dual-axis acceleration detection element comprises a first detection element, a second detection element and a stationary unit. The first detection element is movable relative to the second detection element. The second detection element is movable relative to the stationary unit. The relative movements take place on different axes to detect acceleration on two different axes. The first detection element and the second detection element are interposed by corresponding detection electrodes, and the second detection element and the stationary unit also are interposed by other corresponding detection electrodes. Hence when the relative movements occur among the first and second detection elements and the stationary unit, overlapped areas of the detection electrodes change to generate and output a capacitance difference, thereby acceleration alteration can be detected.

    摘要: An out-of-plane sensing device is provided. A proof mass is movable with respect to a substrate. A frame is positioned on the substrate and encloses the proof mass. At least one spring connects the proof mass to the frame so that the spring will exert a force on the proof mass to make the proof mass move back to its equilibrium position when the proof mass moves perpendicularly to the substrate. An electrode extends from the proof mass toward the frame. A counter electrode extends from the frame toward the proof mass, wherein the projection of the electrode onto the substrate overlaps with that of the counter electrode onto the substrate.
