摘要: The authors have fabricated a new class of miniaturized surface micromachined tunneling accelerometers. accelerometer structures are on the single silicon wafer and consist cantilevered beam with electrostatic deflection electrodes tip underneath. noise level resolutions in air 100-/spl mu/m 250-/spl mu/m-long cantilever devices 8.3/spl times/10/sup -4/ g/Hz/sup 1/2/ 8.5/spl -5/ at 500 respectively. operated force rebalance feedback mode using low automatic servocontrol circuit, providing dynamic range over 10/sup 4/ g. This technology provides extremely high sensitivity, bandwidth wide range, an ultracompact, low-cost package that is easily integrated control electronics.
