PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A SPEED OF ROTATION CORIOLIS SENSOR

摘要

A process for the manufacture of a Coriolis rate-of-rotation sensor with oscillatory support masses spring-suspended on a substrate as well as driving means for the excitation of the planar oscillation of the oscillating masses and evaluation means for the determination of a Coriolis acceleration. Oscillating masses, driving means and integrated stops are structured in a common operation by means of plasma etching from a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer.
