Abstract
A micromachined vibrating gyroscope with a novel piezoresistive scheme is designed, fabricated and tested. A piezoresistive sensing method for Coriolis-acceleration detection is used with both high sensitivity and high resonant frequency. A four-terminal piezoresistive element is used to monitor and stabilize the vibration amplitude of the driving mode through a feedback loop. With the same loop, temperature drift of the gyro's piezoresistive output can be on-chip compensated effectively. The gyro performance is measured, with the following results: resonance frequency in detection mode is 989 Hz; angular rate measurement range is /spl plusmn/ 300/spl deg//s; noise-limited angular rate resolution is 0.33/spl deg//s.
