Abstract

A hybrid micro-accelerometer system consisting of a new bulk Silicon-On-Glass (SOG) lateral capacitive micro-accelerometer accelerometer and a CMOS interface circuit is presented. The accelerometer has a 120μm-thick proof mass, 2.2mm × 3.0mm in size with 3.2μm sensing gap defined by DRIE. The circuit has a 95dB dynamic range, a low offset of 370μV and can resolve better than 75aF. The hybrid system has a measured sensitivity of 40mV/g and resolution of 100μg/√Hz.
