    摘要: A gyroscope system including multiple rotating or oscillating disks filters out disturbance acceleration inputs such as vibrations or jarring while detecting and measuring external angular velocity. The gyroscope disks are decoupled from a substrate to decrease the impact of external vibrations on the gyroscope operation. The gyroscope disks are rotated in opposite directions or oscillated out of phase to decrease the impact of disturbance vibrations and jarring while more accurately measuring external angular velocities applied to the system.

    摘要: An integrated adjustable capacitor device and method for making such a device are provided. The adjustable capacitor includes an underlying electrode, a dielectric cavity, an upper electrode, and an etch cavity for removing sacrificial material from the dielectric cavity. The surface of the device is relatively flat due to epitaxal deposition of epi polysilicon and single crystal silicon. The adjustable capacitor system is capable of undergoing CMOS processes without requiring additional steps of covering the capacitor device to protect it and then removing the covering following the CMOS processes.

    摘要: In the method and device for tuning a first oscillator with a second oscillator respective response signals of the first oscillator are produced from corresponding frequency-shifted and/or phase-shifted signals of the second oscillator. The first oscillator is tuned to the second oscillator according to the difference of the respective response signals. For amplitude correction a quotient is formed by dividing an output signal by the sum of the response signals. The method and device according to the invention are especially useful in a rotation rate sensor. The invention also includes a rotation rate sensor, which includes a device for determining rotation rate from the oscillations of a first and second oscillator and the device for tuning the first oscillator with the second oscillator.

A first method provides a channel cap having at least one preform portion disposed over or in at least a portion of an anti-stiction channel to seal the anti-stiction channel, at least in part. A second method provides a channel cap having at least one portion disposed over or in at least a portion of an anti-stiction channel to seal the anti-stiction channel, at least in part. The at least one portion is fabricated apart from the electromechanical device and thereafter affixed to the electromechanical device. A third method provides a channel cap having at least one portion disposed over or in at least a portion of the anti-stiction channel to seal an anti-stiction channel, at least in part. The at least one portion may comprise a wire ball, a stud, metal foil or a solder preform. A device includes a substrate, an encapsulation structure and a mechanical structure. An anti-stiction layer is disposed on at least a portion of the mechanical structure. An anti-stiction channel is formed in at least one of the substrate and the encapsulation structure. A cap has at least one preform portion disposed over or in at least a portion of the anti-stiction channel to seal the anti-stiction channel, at least in part.
