Abstract

A novel capacitive accelerometer using SDB-SOI(Silicon Direct Bonding - Silicon On Insulator) structure has been proposed. The mass and beams of the accelerometer were fabricated with single crystal silicon layer in the thickness of 10 μm. The beam was formed in Swastika shape to obtain longest beam in minimum area. The fabrication process was simplified by utilization of SOI structure. Seven kinds of accelerometers for different measurement ranges were integrated in the same chip. The capacitance changes of the accelerometers were detected by capacitance to voltage converter IC(TI28882D), and the output characteristics were evaluated.
