Dr. Sparks et al., ANGULAR RATE SENSOR AND ACCELEROMETER COMBINED ON THE SAME MICROMACHINED CMOS CHIP, Microsystem technologies, 4(3), 1998, pp. 139-142
This paper describes an electroformed micromachining technology capabl
e of producing both angular rate sensors and accelerometers. The senso
rs fabricated are CMOS integrated for improved signal output. Automoti
ve applications for these devices will also be discussed.
