  • Publication number: 20230096612
    Abstract: A force sensor including a support, a test body, two strain gauges, mechanical transmission means between the test body and the strain gauges so that a movement of the test body applies a strain onto the strain gauges in a first direction of the plane of the sensor, the transmission means being hinged relative to the support about a second direction in the plane of the sensor, the test body being accommodated within a first volume, the strain gauges being accommodated within a second volume, insulated by sealed insulation means. The sensor includes a sacrificial layer, a nanometric layer, a protective layer and a micrometric layer. The test body and at least one portion of the support are formed in the substrate, the sealed insulation means are partially formed by the nanometric layer and by the sacrificial layer, and the strain gauges are formed in the nanometric layer.

  • Publication number: 20230072687
    Abstract: A resonant sensor including a support, a proof body suspended from the support and having a resonant frequency ?a, means for measuring a force including at least one resonator of resonant frequency ?rn, said force being applied by the proof body, and a mechanical decoupling structure interposed between the proof body and the resonator, said decoupling structure including a decoupling mass, a first connecting element between the decoupling mass and the proof body, a second connecting element between the decoupling mass and the resonator, the decoupling structure having a main vibration mode whose resonant frequency ?d is such that ?a <?d< ?rn, said decoupling structure forming a mechanical low-pass filter between the proof body and the resonator.
