Mode-matched (100) silicon ring gyroscope
Recently, IoT society have demanded small-size and low-cost sensors. MEMS vibrating ring gyroscopes have attracted attention. In a previous study, ring resonators were developed using (100) single-crystal silicon, whose fabrication cost is low and variation in material property is small. However, the isotropy was degraded due to fabrication errors. In this study, we designed and fabricated ring resonator with chamfered rectangle springs immune to fabrication errors. As a result, the difference between two resonant frequencies of wineglass-modes is 27.6 Hz, angle random walk is 24.9 deg/√h and bias stability is 277.8 deg/h.
