  • Patent number: 10520314
    Abstract: The purpose of this invention is obtaining a gyroscope with high Q factor, high as fabricated symmetry and reducing the quadrature error. One aspect of this invention is a gyroscope including a semiconductor chip. This semiconductor chip comprising a substrate, first mass, second mass, connection unit. The first mass can move in any direction of a X-Y plane. The second mass can move in any direction of the X-Y plane. The connection unit located between the first mass and the second mass mechanically connects the first mass and the second mass.

  • Publication number: 20180259335
    Abstract: A gyroscope includes connecting portions which are provided between a mass body and a mass body and connects the mass body with the mass body. Here, the connecting portions includes a fixing portion fixed to a substrate, a shuttle provided between the fixing portion and the mass body, a shuttle provided between the fixing portion and the mass body, a beam connecting the fixing portion with the shuttle, a beam connecting the fixing portion with the shuttle, a beam connecting the mass body with the shuttle, a beam connecting the mass body with the shuttle, and a beam connecting the shuttle with the shuttle. The fixing portion is provided between the shuttle and the shuttle.
