Abstract
We present a 2-mm diameter, 35-μm-thick disk resonator gyro (DRG) fabricated in silicon with integrated 0.35-μm CMOS analog front-end circuits. The device is fabricated in the commercial InvenSense Fabrication MEMSCMOS integrated platform, which incorporates a wafer-level vacuum seal, yielding a quality factor (Q) of 2800 at the DRGs 78-kHz resonant frequency. After performing electrostatic tuning to enable mode-matched operation, this DRG achieves a 55 μV/°/s sensitivity. Resonator vibration in the sense and drive axes is sensed using capacitive transduction, and amplified using a lownoise, on-chip integrated circuit. This allows the DRG to achieve Brownian noise-limited performance. The angle random walk is measured to be 0.008°/s/√(Hz) and the bias instability is 20°/h.
