[Prior art] Most of the solid-state gyroscopes manufactured by micro-mechanical technology have an angular velocity sensing axis that is mostly parallel to the structure surface, such as US Patent Nos. 5,392,650, 5,016,072, and 5,757, Number 103. Furthermore, if the angular velocity and acceleration of the three axes need to be measured at the same time, if the angular velocity sensing axis can be perpendicular to its structural surface, the gyroscope and accelerometer for measuring the three axes can be made on the same base. On-chip, while greatly reducing cost and volume. As a result, another type of solid-state gyroscope is produced, such as U.S. Patent Nos. 6,257,059 and 5,992,233. [Summary of the Problem] "Problems to be Solved" The structure of the solid-state gyroscope of the above-mentioned conventional U.S. Patent No. 6,257,059 is shown in the first figure, and its sensing axis is perpendicular to the structure surface, including two inertial masses 3 and Comb structure 31,32. The mass 3 and the comb-like structures 31 and 32 are connected to the anchor 60 by a plurality of elastic beams 6, 61 and 62. The anchor 60 is fixed to the base plate 71. The mass 3 includes a plurality of regularly arranged holes 3h, and the surface of the substrate 71 below it includes a plurality of long electrode pairs 91 and 92 parallel to the driving axis (y-axis), and is connected to the wiring boards 9p and 9n, respectively. The spacing between the small holes in the X axis is equal to the distance between the two elongated electrode pairs; the two sets of elongated electrodes 91, 92 and the surface of the mass 3 form sensing capacitors e9p, c9n. The materials of the mass 3, the comb-like structures 31, 32 and the elastic beams 6, 6 and 62 may be metal, doped silicon crystal, silicon crystal, or polycrystalline silicon. The length, width, and thickness of the elastic beams 6, 61, and 62 are designed to be easier to bend in two axial directions parallel to the surface of the structure. The two outer comb drivers 31 are driven by a DC bias voltage and a reverse AC voltage drive 200422623. The frequency of the drive AC voltage is a mechanical resonance frequency, which causes the two masses to vibrate in the reverse direction along the y-axis. The two inner comb drivers 32 are each driven by a DC bias voltage and a high-frequency reverse AC voltage, which are mainly used for driving amplitude measurement and feedback to control the driving amplitude. If an angular velocity is input along the z axis, a Coriolis force will be generated to cause the two masses 3 to vibrate in the opposite direction along the x axis, thereby changing the capacitance values of the sensors c9p and c9n. The sensors c9p, c9n are each driven by a DC bias voltage and a high-frequency reverse AC voltage, and the voltages applied by the sensors c9p, c9n on the left and right sides are reversed, and the sensing current of the output terminal GN is proportional to two. Difference in displacement of mass 3. In order to sense the amount of movement of the mass 3 along the X axis, there is another form of sensing capacitor, namely a comb capacitor (not shown in the first figure): When the mass 3 moves along the X axis, the distance between the capacitors changes The capacitance value changes, so it can also sense the displacement. Although the above-mentioned conventional second form of solid-state gyroscope can sense the angular velocity perpendicular to the surface of the structure, it is more difficult to make a practical comb-shaped capacitive electrostatic driver or comb-shaped sensing capacitor. Vertical planes with narrow pitches are only suitable for fabrication by wafer dissolution, surface microfabrication, and dry money engraving, and the "aspect ratio" that can be achieved decreases with depth and sensitivity is limited; for structural dimensions Larger overall microfabrication methods are less suitable. "Technical Means for Solving the Problem" The main feature of the present invention is that the driver and sensor adopt edge capacitors with long capacitor structure. The manufacturing process is simple, there is no need to make vertical planes with two sides deep and narrow spacing, and there is no high "aspect ratio The problem of special process requirements is suitable for a variety of processing methods. "Effects compared to the prior art" In summary, the present invention discloses: (1) a z-axis solid state gyroscope that can sense the angular velocity perpendicular to the structure surface and can sense one of the structures parallel to the structure surface Axial acceleration; (2) Design two z-axis solid-state gyroscopes and two solid-state gyroscopes whose sensing axis is parallel to the structure surface on the same chip, and complete three-axis gyroscopes and acceleration at the same time in one process Instrument, forming a fully functional flat-type inertial measurement instrument, can greatly reduce its volume, manufacturing and assembly costs. Furthermore, the z-axis solid-state gyroscope of the same case number (U.S. Patent No. 6,257,059 B1, 7/2001, 73 / 504.02 and 5,992,233 11/1999, 73 / 504.02) did not disclose the present invention and The same characteristics, so this case should meet the "newness" patent requirements. Secondly, the planar inertial measuring instrument of the present invention has a simple manufacturing process, which can greatly reduce its volume, production and assembly costs. Therefore, this case should meet the patent requirements of "industrial availability" and "progressiveness", and is proposed in accordance with the provisions of the Patent Law. Patent application for this invention. [Embodiment] First, please refer to the second (a) diagram of the main structure of a miniature z-axis solid state gyroscope according to a feasible embodiment of the present invention. Its structure is made of conductive material and includes an outer frame 2 and an intermediate fixed anchor 21; the outer frame 2 contains two sets of inertial masses 3 and driver bodies 51 and 52; each mass 3 is at least One sensing elastic beam 4 is connected between its two driver bodies 51 and 52, and the two driver bodies 51 and 52 are connected by two connecting beams 5.

Each mass 3 and its driver body 51 and 52 can also be suspended by additional elastic beams 65 and 66.于 外 FRAME 2. The other two glass plates 71 and 72 are respectively placed on the front and back of the main structure, and are combined with the outer frame 2 and the fixing anchor 60, so that the other components mentioned above are suspended between the two glass plates 71 and 72.

The driving beam 6, the common connecting beam 61, the common elastic beam 62, the elastic beams 65, 66, etc. Make the mass 3 and the driver body 51, 52 easier to move in the other direction (defined as the y-axis) parallel to the flat surface; the two surfaces of the mass 3 each include several long grooves perpendicular to the x-axis 3t, each of the two surfaces of the driver body 51, 52 contains a plurality of elongated grooves 5t perpendicular to the y-axis. The glass plates 71 and 72 face the surface of the silicon wafer, corresponding to each driver body 51, 200422623, and horizontally running in the elongated recess ... The elongated electrode is shown in the cross-sectional view of the figure, so it is resistant to the time 丄 A ^ Off Positioned as the second plate 81, 82, the surface of the A + driver body 51 and its corresponding elongated electrode 72 facing the Shi Xi capacitors C81P, C81n ° Similarly, the glass sheet 71, Liu Yi and Ping-said Yu Yu The surface, corresponding to the surface of each driver body 52, contains two sets of two and two, 8 ^: long-shaped grooves & long electrodes 81, 82, and are respectively connected to the wiring P n 'to form another two sets of driving capacitors C82p, c82n .

The two outer drivers c8lp and c81n are each driven by a DC bias voltage and a reverse AC voltage, and the frequency of the driving AC voltage is a mechanical resonance frequency, which causes the two f gauge blocks to vibrate in the reverse direction along the Y-axis. The two inner drivers c82p and c82n each use a dc bias and a high-frequency reverse AC voltage ㈣, which are mainly used to drive amplitude measurement and feedback.

I If an angular velocity is entered along the z-axis, a Coriolis force will be generated to cause the two masses 3 to vibrate in the X-axis in the opposite direction. If the acceleration is also input in the axial direction, the inertial force will also cause a The Bailey block 3 is displaced in the same direction along the X axis; both the capacitance values of the sensors c9p and C9n can be changed due to the change in the area of the elongated capacitor. Sensors c9n are each driven by a DC bias and a high-frequency reverse AC voltage. The voltages applied to the left and right sensors c9p, c9n are reversed, and the output terminal gn ^ measures the current. The difference in displacement. The signal generated by the angular velocity ^ Parent flow signal 'The signal generated by the acceleration is a low-frequency or DC signal. The processing technique of the teacher can separate the z-axis angular velocity and the cardiac acceleration signal. The sensing electrodes C9p, c9n's long electrodes 9 !, 92 can also be partially divided, such as the feedback electrode 9f in the figure, as a gyro balance feedback driver. The mass 3 and the driver body 51, 52 can have many other different forms. 200422623 For example, the fourth and fifth figures, 'Large grooves 3t, 5t on the surface of the mass 3 or the driver body 5 and 52 are etched many more. Deep holes 3h, 5h, or even etch them through to reduce the load on the driver and improve the driving performance. In the fourth figure, the connecting beam $ is canceled, and the two driver bodies 51 and 52 are directly connected by the sensing beam 4; in the fifth figure, the connecting beam 5 and the sensing beam 4 are cancelled, and the f gauge block 3 and the driver body 5 are used. 52 is directly connected, and the function of the sensing beam 4 is assumed by the common connection beam 61 instead. This structure can be made by wafer dissolving method, surface microfabrication method, dry etching IGA, overall microfabrication method, etc. It is not necessary to make the two sides deep and the distance between them is small, and the "face" has no special process requirements such as "aspect ratio". If the red structure is manufactured by using the overall microfabrication method of the wafer 11, the resumption diagram is: (11W wafer wetness, ^ = element: Γ parallelogram, and the cool angle of any two sides is a turning wafer. It has the advantage That is, because of its vertical characteristics and automatic etch stop function, it is not necessary to accurately control the width / rate of the driving beam and the sensing beam to improve the process success rate and sensitivity * ..., and control the measured resonance frequency ^ ^ 109.48 »^ 4 ^ sin (109.48.)

A new coordinate system (X ', Y' W ^ _-θ㈣48.), The original coordinate system (x, y, z) travels around the 2 axis on the y, axis.

The structure of the X-axis solid-state gyroscope in Figure 7 is similar to the z-axis solid-state gyroscope in Figure 2. The main differences There are two: (l) The sensing beam 4 of the x-axis solid-state gyroscope makes the mass 3 easier to move along the z-axis' and the sensing mark 4 of the z-axis solid-state gyroscope of the second figure makes the mass 3 more Easy to move along the X-axis; (2) Each surface of the mass electrode 3 corresponding to the sensing electrode plate of the X-axis solid-state gyroscope is a single electrode plate 9, and the sensing electrode plate of the z-axis solid-state gyroscope corresponds to each mass. Each surface of the block 3 is two sets of elongated electrode plates 91, 92.
為組成一平面式三軸向慣性量測儀尚需一 y軸向固態陀螺 儀,其結構與X軸向固態陀螺儀相同,只是繞z軸旋轉90° 。 當驅動軸及感測軸正交時,組成一平面式三軸向慣性量測儀 所需之四個固態陀螺儀、各軸向陀螺儀之驅動軸向、感測軸向、 及其角速度輸入袖向及加速度輸入轴向等之安排歸納如表(一): 表(一)··驅動軸及感測軸正交時各陀螺儀之軸向安排 項次 驅動軸 感測軸 角速度 輸入轴 加速度 輸入軸 G1 Dy Dz Wx Az G2 Dx Dz Wy Az G3 Dy Dx Wz Ax G4 Dx Dy Wz AyIn order to form a planar three-axis inertial measurement instrument, a y-axis solid-state gyroscope is required. Its structure is the same as that of the X-axis solid-state gyroscope, except that it is rotated 90 ° around the z-axis. When the driving axis and the sensing axis are orthogonal, the four solid-state gyroscopes needed to form a planar triaxial inertial measurement instrument, the driving axis of each axial gyroscope, the sensing axis, and its angular velocity input The arrangement of sleeve direction and acceleration input axis are summarized as table (1): Table (1) · The axial arrangement of each gyroscope when the drive shaft and the sense axis are orthogonal The drive shaft senses the angular velocity of the input shaft acceleration Input shaft G1 Dy Dz Wx Az G2 Dx Dz Wy Az G3 Dy Dx Wz Ax G4 Dx Dy Wz Ay
由表(一)可知,z軸向之陀螺度及加速度均有兩組輸出信號 可用。 若以一個Z軸向陀螺儀及兩個平面内軸向陀螺儀組成一個平 面式三軸向慣性量測儀,則Z軸向加速度分量Az仍有兩組信號, 但將缺少一個平面内軸向之加速度分量的信號,例如若選用G3 安排,則將缺少一個Ay加速度分量;若選用G4安排,則將少一 個Αχ加速度分量。為補足所欠缺的Αχ或Ay加速度分量的信號, 可另增加一 Αχ或Ay加速儀。 11 200422623 第八(a)圖所示為本發明以四個固態陀螺儀組成之平面式三 軸向慣性量測儀之主結構示意圖,其中Gl、G2、G3、G4各固態 陀螺儀之驅動軸向、感測軸向、及其角速度輸入軸向及加速度輸 入軸向等之安排與表(一)相同。 若以(110)矽晶片利用整體微細加工法製作三軸向平面式慣 性量測儀,則其各軸向陀螺儀之驅動軸向及感測軸向之安排、及 其角速度輸入軸向、加速度輸入軸向如表(二)所示: 表(二):驅動軸及感測軸非正交時各陀螺儀之軸向安排 項次 驅動軸 感測軸 角速度 感測軸 加速度 感測軸 Gl Dy Dz Wx Az G2 Dx, Dz Wy, Az G3 Dy Dx’ Wz Ax, G4 Dx, Dy Wz AyAs can be seen from Table (1), there are two sets of output signals available for the gyroscope degree and acceleration in the z-axis. If a Z-axis gyroscope and two in-plane axial gyroscopes are used to form a planar three-axis inertial measurement device, the Z-axis acceleration component Az still has two sets of signals, but one in-plane axial will be missing. The signal of the acceleration component, for example, if the G3 arrangement is used, it will lack an Ay acceleration component; if the G4 arrangement is used, it will have one Aχ acceleration component less. In order to make up for the lack of Ax or Ay acceleration component signals, an additional Ax or Ay accelerometer can be added. 11 200422623 Figure 8 (a) shows the main structure diagram of a planar triaxial inertial measurement device composed of four solid-state gyroscopes according to the present invention, among which Gl, G2, G3, G4 drive shafts of solid-state gyroscopes The arrangement of the direction, the sensing axis, the angular velocity input axis, and the acceleration input axis are the same as those in Table (1).

第八(b)圖所示為本發明利用(110)矽晶片經整體微細加工法 製作、以四個固態陀螺儀組成之平面式三軸向慣性量測儀之主結 構示意圖,其中Gl、G2、G3、G4各固態陀螺儀之驅動軸向、感 測軸向、及其角速度輸入軸向及加速度輸入軸向等之安排與表(二) 相同。 鲁 若以(110)矽晶片利用整體微細加工法製作三軸向平面式慣 性量測儀,最後所獲得之信號均為:Wx、Wy’、Wz三個角速度 分量,及Ax’、Ay、Az三個加速度分量。因X轴與y’軸、X’軸與 7軸非正交,故(\\^,\^’)、(八乂’,八7)需轉換至一正交的座標系統: (x,y,z)或(x’,y’,z)。設系統之工作座標為(x,y,z)座標,則由第八 (b)圖之二座標系統關係圖,可得:The eighth (b) diagram is a schematic diagram of the main structure of a planar three-axis inertial measurement instrument made of (110) silicon wafers by the overall microfabrication method and composed of four solid-state gyroscopes, in which Gl, G2 The arrangement of the driving axis, sensing axis, and angular velocity input axis and acceleration input axis of each solid-state gyroscope of G3, G4, and G4 are the same as those in Table (2). Lu Ruo used the (110) silicon wafer to make a triaxial planar inertial measurement instrument using the overall microfabrication method. The signals obtained at the end are: three angular velocity components of Wx, Wy ', and Wz, and Ax', Ay, and Az Three acceleration components. Because the X axis is not orthogonal to the y 'axis, and the X' axis is not orthogonal to the 7 axis, (\\ ^, \ ^ '), (Hachi', 8) need to be converted to an orthogonal coordinate system: (x, y, z) or (x ', y', z). Let the working coordinate of the system be (x, y, z) coordinate, then from the eighth (b) figure two coordinate system relationship diagram, we can get:
