<p>A method of making a micro electro-mechanical gyroscope. A cantilevered beam structure, firstportions of side drive electrodes and a mating structure are defined on a first substrate or wafer;and at least one contact structure, second portions of the side drive electrodes and a matingstructure are defined on a second substrate or wafer, the mating structure on the second substrateor wafer being of a complementary shape to the mating structure on the first substrate or waferand the first and second portions of the side drive electrodes being of a complementary shape to each other. A bonding layer, preferably a eutectic bonding layer, is provided on at least one of the mating structures and one or the first and second portions of the side drive electrodes. The matingstructure of the first substrate is moved into a confronting relationship with the mating structureof the second substrate or wafer. Pressure is applied between the two substrates so as to cause a bond to occur between the two mating structures at the bonding or eutectic layer and alsobetween the first and second portions of the side drive electrodes to cause a bond to occurtherebetween. Then the first substrate or wafer is removed to free the cantilevered beam structurefor movement relative to the second substrate or wafer. The bonds are preferably eutectic bonds.</p> |
