A Study on a Silicon Resonator
for Piezoresistive Accelerometers E. H. Yang, S. S. Yang, and O. C. Jeong
ABSTRACT In this paper, a silicon
resonator which is an important structure of piezoresistive accelerometer
for air bag systems has been designed, and fabricated using the
silicon-micro machining techniques. The resonator consists
of a seismic mass and four deflection beams. The seismic mass
of mesa structure and beams are fabricated by the anisotropic etching
process using EPW. On the surface of both ends of the beams,
piezoresistors are fabricated by diffusion process. The deflection
of the beam under acceleration causes the change in the resistance
of the piezoresistors. The 8 piezoresistors are properly arranged
and connected to make a bridge circuit so that acceleration in only
one direction may be measured. The designed first resonant
frequency of this resonator is 16.8 KHz. In the range of frequency
below 15 KHz, the frequency response has been obtained from experiments,
and the sensitivity of the output to acceleration in the range of
low frequency is 4.3 uV/Vg at 22 degree. (The Transactions
of KIEE, vol. 41, 10, 1992)
