Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermal MEMS gyroscope characteristics have been studied to optimize gyroscope performance. Different parameters such as gas properties, heaters power and switching frequency have been optimized to increase the device sensitivity. A new Thermal MEMS gyroscope model referred to as "Forced Convection MEMS Gyroscope" has been introduced. In this design the output signal has been increased by adding external force to the system. Parameter optimization to increase the device efficiency has also been investigated. An experimental set up has been presented and the simulation study compared with experimental results. Another model referred to as the "Three-axis MEMS gyroscope" has been defined to measure rotation along three axes of rotation. In this design a single heater replaces the two heaters of previous models. Simulation results have shown that using this design it may be possible to distinguish the rotation signal from the buoyancy effects associated with acceleration.

Download or read book Fabrication Testing and Characterization of MEMS Gyroscope written by Ridha Almikhlafi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the design, fabrication and characterization of two Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) vibratory gyroscopes fabricated using the Silicon-On-Insulator-Multi-User-MEMS Process (SOIMUMPs) and Polysilicon Multi-User-MEMS-Process (Poly-MUMPs). Firstly, relevant literature and background on static and dynamic analysis of MEMS gyroscopes are described. Secondly, the gyroscope analytical model is presented and numerically solved using Mathematica software. The lumped mass model was used to analytically design the gyroscope and predict their performance. Finite element analysis was carried out on the gyroscopes to verify the proposed designs. Thirdly, gyroscope fabrication using MEMSCAP's SOIMUMPs and PolyMUMPs processes is described. For the former, post-processing was carried out at the Quantum Nanofab Center (QNC) on a die-level in order to create the vibratory structural elements (cantilever beam). Following this, the PolyMUMPs gyroscopes are characterized optically by measuring their resonance frequencies and quality factor using a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV). The drive resonance frequency was measured at 40 kHz and the quality factor as Q = 1. For the sense mode, the resonance frequency was measured at 55 kHz and the unity quality factor as Q = 1. The characterization results show large drive direction motions of 100 um/s in response to a voltage pulse of 10 V. The drive pull-in voltage was measured at 19 V. Finally, the ratio of the measured drive to sense mode velocities in response to a voltage pulse of 10 V was calculated at 1.375.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) technologies were developed by applying semiconductor microfabrication technologies to make three-dimensional microstructures and mechanical systems. MEMS technologies offer the advantages of batch fabrication of numbers of devices as well as an ability to integrate multiple functional units in a small area, which is important for developing smart and sophisticated devices. Gyroscopes are commonly used sensors for measuring angular velocity in many areas of applications such as navigation, homing, and control stabilisation. Fabrication imperfections and thermal, mechanical noise may hinder the measurement of angular velocity of MEMS gyroscope. This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the analysis and advanced control design of MEMS gyroscope for the problem of angular velocity measurement and minimisation of the cross coupling between two axes.
Download or read book MEMS Accelerometers written by Mahmoud Rasras and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) devices are widely used for inertia, pressure, and ultrasound sensing applications. Research on integrated MEMS technology has undergone extensive development driven by the requirements of a compact footprint, low cost, and increased functionality. Accelerometers are among the most widely used sensors implemented in MEMS technology. MEMS accelerometers are showing a growing presence in almost all industries ranging from automotive to medical. A traditional MEMS accelerometer employs a proof mass suspended to springs, which displaces in response to an external acceleration. A single proof mass can be used for one- or multi-axis sensing. A variety of transduction mechanisms have been used to detect the displacement. They include capacitive, piezoelectric, thermal, tunneling, and optical mechanisms. Capacitive accelerometers are widely used due to their DC measurement interface, thermal stability, reliability, and low cost. However, they are sensitive to electromagnetic field interferences and have poor performance for high-end applications (e.g., precise attitude control for the satellite). Over the past three decades, steady progress has been made in the area of optical accelerometers for high-performance and high-sensitivity applications but several challenges are still to be tackled by researchers and engineers to fully realize opto-mechanical accelerometers, such as chip-scale integration, scaling, low bandwidth, etc. This Special Issue on "MEMS Accelerometers" seeks to highlight research papers, short communications, and review articles that focus on: Novel designs, fabrication platforms, characterization, optimization, and modeling of MEMS accelerometers. Alternative transduction techniques with special emphasis on opto-mechanical sensing. Novel applications employing MEMS accelerometers for consumer electronics, industries, medicine, entertainment, navigation, etc. Multi-physics design tools and methodologies, including MEMS-electronics co-design. Novel accelerometer technologies and 9DoF IMU integration. Multi-accelerometer platforms and their data fusion.
Download or read book Design and Dynamic Analysis of MEMS Gyroscopes written by Surender Reddy Poreddy and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis, a novel design for a vibratory wheel micro gyroscope is presented. A DRIE thick structure has been realized. Thicker structure enables the proof masses to have more mass and hence more inertia and better performance. For the highest sensitivity of the gyroscope angular deflection is very important. The angular deflection achieved initially was very low. Using design optimization techniques a new gyro is developed with improved design and we could improve the angular deflection by an order of magnitude. Fabrication of MEMS devices is the most challenging part; hence an idea is put forth for the fabrication of the current model. While fabrication itself is challenging, fabrication defects are inevitably present. The effects of fabrication and the compensation methods are studied using a tuning fork gyro. Dynamic analysis has been carried out and we studied the effect of imperfect flexures on the gyroscopes performance. It has been found that, even if there are imperfections in the flexures the gyro can closely match the ideal gyroscope with some trade-offs in the design part of it.
