Abstract: A method for manufacturing microelectromechanical flexural resonators with a deforming element that has an elongate body extending along a spring axis. A deforming element is positioned on the semiconductor wafer with a defined nominal n-type doping concentration such that a crystal orientation angle is formed between the spring axis of the deforming element and a crystal axis of the silicon semiconductor wafer. The combination of the crystal orientation angle and the nominal n-type doping concentration is adjusted to a specific range, based on total frequency error of the deforming element in a broad temperature range. The combination is optimized to a range where also sensitivity to variations in the material properties is minimized.

Abstract: The invention relates to measurement devices used in the measurement of acceleration, and more specifically, to micromechanical acceleration sensors. The invention seeks to offer an improved method for the measurement of acceleration directed to three or two dimensions using a micromechanical acceleration sensor as well as an improved micromechanical acceleration sensor. Using this invention, the functional reliability of a sensor can be monitored in constant use, and it is suitable for use particularly in small-sized micromechanical acceleration sensor solutions measuring in relation to several axes.
