Integrated structure for a resonant micro-gyroscope and accelerometer

This paper presents the study of the mechanical behavior of a microstructure designed to detect acceleration and angular velocity simultaneously. The new resonant micro-sensor proposed, fabricated by the ThELMA© surface-micromachining technique, bases detection of two components of external acceler...
