Abstract

This paper reports a gyroscope using sidewall doped piezoresistors and vibrating mass by Lorentz force. With sidewall doped piezoresistors, in-plane deformation of the beams due to Coriolis force generated by angular motion can be detected, which was difficult with surface doped piezoresistors. The proposed gyroscope was designed so that the resonant frequencies of the driving and sensing modes were similar to each other. It was demonstrated that the developed gyroscope measured angular velocity through the resistance change of the piezoresistive beams.
