摘要: A spring system (74) links a pair of drive masses (30, 32) of a MEMS device (72). The spring system (74) includes stiff beams (76, 78, 80, 82) oriented to form a parallelogram arrangement (84). The beams are oriented diagonal to a drive direction (56) of the masses (30, 32). Diagonally opposing corners (86, 88) of the parallelogram arrangement (84) are coupled to the drive masses (30, 32). A spring (90) is coupled to a corner (94) and a spring (92) is coupled to a diagonally opposing corner (96) of the parallelogram arrangement. The springs (90, 92) are interconnected with a sense frame (34) surrounding the drive masses. The beams and side springs are stiff to substantially prevent in-phase motion (66) of the drive masses. However, rotationally compliant flexures (102, 104, 106, 108), allow the arrangement (84) to collapse and expand to enable anti-phase motion (60) of the drive masses.

摘要: An inertial sensor (20) includes a drive mass (30) configured to undergo oscillatory motion and a sense mass (32) linked to the drive mass (30). On-axis torsion springs (58) are coupled to the sense mass (32), the on-axis torsion springs (58) being co-located with an axis of rotation (22). The inertial sensor (20) further includes an off-axis spring system (60). The off-axis spring system (60) includes off-axis springs (68, 70, 72, 74), each having a connection interface (76) coupled to the sense mass (32) at a location on the sense mass (32) that is displaced away from the axis of rotation (22). Together, the on-axis torsion springs (58) and the off-axis spring system (60) enable the sense mass (32) to oscillate out of plane about the axis of rotation (22) at a sense frequency that substantially matches a drive frequency of the drive mass (30).

摘要: A MEMS sensor (20, 86) includes a support structure (26) suspended above a surface (28) of a substrate (24) and connected to the substrate (24) via spring elements (30, 32, 34). A proof mass (36) is suspended above the substrate (24) and is connected to the support structure (26) via torsional elements (38). Electrodes (42, 44), spaced apart from the proof mass (36), are connected to the support structure (26) and are suspended above the substrate (24). Suspension of the electrodes (42, 44) and proof mass (36) above the surface (28) of the substrate (24) via the support structure (26) substantially physically isolates the elements from deformation of the underlying substrate (24). Additionally, connection via the spring elements (30, 32, 34) result in the MEMS sensor (22, 86) being less susceptible to movement of the support structure (26) due to this deformation.
