Description of the invention (2) X-axis has a rotational angular velocity Ω, and a Coriolis force F will be generated to cause the mass 3 to vibrate along the z-axis. Measure The rotational angular velocity can be obtained from the vibration amplitude of the mass 3 along the z-axis; if an acceleration is also input along the z-axis, the mass 3 will also be displaced relative to the inner frame 5 due to the inertial force, and the mass is measured. The displacement of block 3 along the z-axis can get the acceleration. When mass 3 is displaced,
其與二玻璃平板7 1、72上之金屬薄膜電極板9 所形成之二 感測用電容器因間距改變而使電容值改變,兩者之改變值 相反,故量測兩個感測電容器之電容值差值即可得知質量 塊3位移量。由角速度所產生之輸出信號為交流信號,由 加速度所產生之輸出信號為低頻或直流信號,故利用信號 處理技術可分離出角速度及加速度信號。It is different from the two sensing capacitors formed by the metal thin film electrode plates 9 on the two glass flat plates 7 1 and 72 due to the change in the distance between the two capacitors. The two capacitors have opposite values, so the capacitance of the two sensing capacitors is measured. The difference can be used to know the displacement of the mass 3. The output signal generated by the angular velocity is an AC signal, and the output signal generated by the acceleration is a low-frequency or DC signal. Therefore, the angular velocity and acceleration signals can be separated by using signal processing technology.
上述各(内框架5 +感測彈性支樓樑4 +質量塊3 )與其 驅動彈性支撐樑6各自形成一組y -軸向π質量塊-彈簧振動 系統’’;同理,各質量塊3與其感測彈性支撐樑4各自形成 一組ζ -軸向”質量塊-彈簧振動系統π 。由於驅動電容器所 提供的驅動力直接產生的振幅甚小,故一般均是利用振動 系統之共振效應以放大振幅。放大倍率Q與操作頻率及阻 尼係數有關,若驅動電容器之操作頻率愈接近振動系統之 共振頻率,則放大倍率愈大。同理,柯氏力所產生之振幅 亦必須利用共振效應放大。因為柯氏力產生之振動頻率與 驅動力之頻率一致,故感測軸向之共振頻率應與驅動軸向 之共振頻率一致,才能產生足夠大的輸出信號;或為響應 頻寬之考量,兩者之共振頻率故意設計略有差異,但差值 必須維持一定值。 上述習知以(1 0 0 )矽晶片1蝕刻製作之雙慣性感測器在Each of the above (inner frame 5 + sensing elastic supporting beam 4 + mass 3) and its driving elastic supporting beam 6 each form a set of y-axial π mass-spring vibration system ''; similarly, each mass 3 Instead of sensing the elastic supporting beams 4 each form a group of ζ-axial "mass-spring vibration system π. Because the driving force provided by the driving capacitor directly generates a small amplitude, the resonance effect of the vibration system is generally used to Amplify the amplitude. The magnification Q is related to the operating frequency and damping coefficient. If the operating frequency of the driving capacitor is closer to the resonance frequency of the vibration system, the magnification will be larger. Similarly, the amplitude generated by the Coriolis force must also be amplified by the resonance effect. .Because the vibration frequency generated by Coriolis force is consistent with the frequency of the driving force, the resonance frequency of the sensing axis should be consistent with the resonance frequency of the driving axis in order to generate a sufficiently large output signal; or for the consideration of response bandwidth, The resonance frequency of the two is intentionally designed to be slightly different, but the difference must be maintained at a certain value. The above-mentioned conventional dual inertial sensor manufactured by (100) silicon wafer 1 etching is used in

製程上有一缺點,問題在於驅動彈性支撐樑6之製作,其 程序如第二圖,首先由矽晶片1之正面及背面同時進行蝕 刻,由於矽晶濕式蝕刻速率與晶格方向有關,沿< 1 1 1 > 方向之蝕刻速率最慢,幾乎不能蝕刻,故初期蝕刻結果如 第二圖(a)之橫切面圖所示,其斜線為(1 1 1 )面,若繼續蝕 刻,則將由上下兩(1 1 1 )面交會處往< 1 1 0 >方向繼續蝕 刻,如第二圖(b ),第二圖(c )〜第二圖(e )則分別為由驅 動彈性支撐樑兩邊蝕刻至接近完成前後之側面形狀,當蝕 刻至垂直時將矽晶片1由蝕刻溶液中取出停止蝕刻。但因 缺少像(1 1 1 )晶面之自動停止蝕刻機制,故何時該停止蝕 刻完全憑經驗,以蝕刻時間、或以目視法決定,振動樑之 寬度將難以精確掌握;因振動樑之寬度影響振動樑之彈性 係數,即影響振動系統之共振頻率,若驅動彈性支撐樑6 之寬度不準,將使驅動軸向之共振頻率與感測軸向之共振 頻率不一致,或使兩者之差值偏離原設計值。而放大倍率 Q值愈大之振動系統,所能容忍之頻率偏離值愈小,因此 每次製作之產品之性能重複性、甚或成功率將大受影響。 本發明乃針對上述缺失進行改進。 1發明内容】There is a disadvantage in the manufacturing process. The problem lies in the production of the driving elastic support beam 6. The procedure is as shown in the second figure. First, the front and back of the silicon wafer 1 are etched simultaneously. Since the wet etching rate of the silicon crystal is related to the lattice direction, it follows ; 1 1 1 > The etching rate in the direction is the slowest and can hardly be etched, so the initial etching result is shown in the cross-sectional view of the second figure (a). The oblique line is the (1 1 1) plane. If the etching continues, then The etching will continue from the intersection of the upper and lower (1 1 1) faces in the direction of < 1 1 0 >, as shown in the second picture (b), the second picture (c) ~ the second picture (e) are driven by elasticity, respectively. The two sides of the support beam are etched to the side shape before and after the completion. When the etch is vertical, the silicon wafer 1 is taken out of the etching solution to stop etching. However, due to the lack of an automatic stop etching mechanism like the (1 1 1) crystal plane, when to stop etching is completely determined by experience, and the etching time or visual method is used to determine the width of the vibrating beam. Affects the elastic coefficient of the vibration beam, that is, the resonance frequency of the vibration system. If the width of the driving elastic support beam 6 is inaccurate, the resonance frequency in the driving axis and the resonance frequency in the sensing axis will be inconsistent, or the difference between the two will be made. The value deviates from the original design value. The larger the magnification Q value of the vibration system, the smaller the frequency deviation value that can be tolerated. Therefore, the performance repeatability and even the success rate of each product will be greatly affected. The present invention is made to improve the above-mentioned defects. 1 Summary of the invention

An edge-effect electrostatic drive capacitor (hereinafter referred to as a driver) is formed on the surface of the inner frame 5. Corresponding masses 3 are also plated with metal thin film electrode plates 9, respectively, and two sensing capacitors are formed on the surface of the mass 3 ( Hereinafter or referred to as the sensor). When the driver inputs reverse AC driving voltage, it will generate electrostatic driving force to cause the inner frame 5 and its mass 3 to vibrate along the y-axis. At this time, if there is a rotational angular velocity Ω along the X-axis, a Coriolis force will be generated. F makes its mass 3 vibrate along the Z-axis, and the angular velocity of rotation can be obtained by measuring the vibration amplitude of the mass 3 along the Z-axis; if an acceleration is also input along the z-axis, the inertial force will also cause The mass 3 generates a displacement relative to the inner frame 5, and the acceleration can be obtained by measuring the displacement of the mass 3 in the z-axis direction. When the mass 3 is displaced or vibrated, the capacitance between the sensing capacitor and the metal thin-film electrode plate 9 on the glass flat plates 71 and 72 changes due to the change in the distance between the capacitors. The change of the two values is opposite, so it is measured. The difference between the capacitance values of the two sets of sensing capacitors can be used to know the displacement or vibration of the mass 3. The output signal generated by the angular velocity is an AC signal, and the output signal generated by the acceleration is a DC or low frequency signal. Therefore, the angular velocity and acceleration signals can be separated by using signal processing technology.

Description of the invention (6) Precision control; therefore, the difference between the resonance frequency of the driving vibration system and the sensing vibration system can be effectively and accurately controlled. The driving force of the capacitor edge effect electrostatic driver is proportional to the length of the capacitor. In order to enhance the driving force, the effective edge length must be increased. The driver can be designed as a composite type, as shown in the top view of Figure 4a: The sides 5 1 ′, 5 2 ′ are widened, and several long grooves or even 5 t are etched from both sides to form two driver bodies 5 1 ′, 5 2 ′. Each long groove or long The shaped hole 5t can provide two edge effect drivers. The surfaces of the glass plates 71, 7 2 facing the silicon wafer 1 1 and the corresponding surfaces of the driver body 5 Γ each contain two sets of long electrodes 8 1, 8 2 that are interlaced with each other and parallel to the long grooves or holes 5 t. And respectively connected to the wiring boards 8 1 p, 8 1 η, as shown in the fourth figure b; the relative positions of the long grooves or holes 5t on the surface of the driver body 51 ′ and the corresponding long electrodes 8 1, 8 2 are as follows: As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 4c, two sets of driving capacitors are formed. Similarly, the surfaces of the glass plates 7 1 and 7 2 facing the silicon wafer 1 1 and the surface of the corresponding driver body 52 ′ also include two sets of long electrodes 81 and 82 that are interlaced and parallel to the long groove 5t, and are connected respectively. To the terminal plates 8 2ρ, 8 2η, the surface of the driver body 52 'and the corresponding long electrode groups 81, 82 also form another two sets of driving capacitors. Properly adjust the phase of the AC voltage applied to each driving capacitor to make the output directions of the drivers consistent, so the driving force can be increased several times. Each driving capacitor can also be used to measure and feedback the driving amplitude to control the driving amplitude.

Description of Invention (8) Dynamic capacitor. The surfaces of the glass plates 7 1 and 7 2 facing the silicon wafer 11 1 are also plated with metal thin film electrode plates 9 corresponding to the surfaces of the masses 3a and 3b, respectively, and connected to the wiring plates 9 p and 9 η, respectively. Form a sensing capacitor. Properly adjust the phase of the driving AC voltage applied to each driving capacitor, so that each mass 3a, 3b vibrates in the opposite direction of the y-axis. If there is a rotational angular velocity Ω in the X-axis direction, a Coriolis force will be generated to cause the masses 3a, 3b to vibrate in the opposite direction of the z-axis; if an acceleration is also input in the z-axis direction, the inertial force will cause the mass Blocks 3a, 3b produce displacements in the same direction along the z-axis. When the mass 3a, 3b is displaced or vibrated, the capacitance value of the sensing capacitor formed with the metal thin film electrode plate 9 on the glass flat plates 71, 72 changes due to the change in the distance. The change values of the two are opposite, so the amount is the same. By measuring the difference between the capacitance values of the two sets of sensing capacitors, the displacements of the mass blocks 3a and 3b can be obtained. The output signal generated by the angular velocity is an AC signal, and the output signal generated by the acceleration is a DC signal. X-axis angular velocity and z-axis acceleration signals can be separated by signal processing technology. The electrode 9 of the sensing capacitor can also be partially divided, such as the feedback electrode plate 9 f in Figure 5b, and its wiring board 9 f b, as a gyroscope balance feedback driver. In order to reduce the air resistance caused by the compression of the air film when the mass 3 or masses 3a and 3b vibrate along the z-axis, and improve the resonance magnification Q of the z-axis vibration system, the surface of the mass 3 can be etched Several recesses or elongated grooves 31 parallel to the edges of the mass 3, 3a, or 3b are shown in the sixth figure. Because the present invention adopts (1 1 0) silicon wafer 1 1 and has vertical deep etching characteristics, the etching of a long groove or a long hole will not waste the area of the sensing capacitor and improve the sensitivity of the output signal; if air resistance Still too large, you need to evacuate.

Description of the invention (9) In order to avoid the problem of adhesion between the mass and the glass sheet when the silicon wafer and the glass sheet are bonded during the manufacturing process, A number of small bumps or convex lines 3 s and their insulation layers 3 i are designed on the surface of the mass 3 as a stopper, as shown in the sixth figure. In order to enhance the bonding force between the silicon wafer and the glass plate, the portion of the original silicon wafer that has no specific purpose and does not hinder the movement of the movable element should be kept as much as possible, such as the connection block 22 shown in Figure 5a, to join the glass plate. In order to eliminate the influence of temperature change on the output signal and improve the performance of the gyroscope and accelerometer, as shown in the sixth figure, a small concave TS1 can be etched on the surface of the outer frame 2, the middle anchor 21 or the connection block 22, and correspondingly The surface of the glass sheet is plated with a metal thin film electrode TS2 and connected to the wiring board TS to form a capacitor for temperature sensing. Since it is not affected by acceleration and angular velocity, it only responds to the change of capacitor with temperature, so it can be used to compensate Capacitors for sensing inertial forces are affected by temperature. As shown in Figure 5a, because the silicon wafer 11 is conductive, the surface of the outer frame 2 corresponding to the passage of each metal thin film wire on the surface of the glass flat plate 71, 72 must be etched with a small groove st to form a channel to avoid Short circuit. Based on the design spirit of the above two embodiments, there can be many different designs and combinations. For example, the capacitor gap between the mass block and the two glass plates 7 1 and 72 can be changed on the surface of the glass plates 7 1 and 7 2. The concave surface; the design and arrangement of the spring leaf group can also have different changes. For example, the driving elastic supporting sign 6 of each inner frame 5 can also be directly connected to the outer frame 2 and so on. In summary, the present invention discloses a dual inertial sensor manufactured by using the vertical deep etching characteristics of (1 1 0) silicon wafer 1 1 to accurately control the width of the driving beam 6 and the driving resonance frequency to improve the process success. Rate and angular velocity sensing performance; and also contains a number of functions: 1 · Reduce air resistance design, improve the sense
