  • Publication number: 20240391756
    Abstract: An MEMS sensor and a method therefor. The MEMS sensor includes a buried electrode layer; a top electrode layer spaced from the buried electrode layer, a cavity being formed between the buried electrode layer and the top electrode layer; and a device layer received the cavity. The device layer includes movable mass blocks spaced from one another, each of which is supported on the buried electrode layer through a respective anchor portion, a preset gap is formed between each movable mass block and the top electrode layer, and the preset gap formed by one of the movable mass blocks is different from the preset gap formed by another one of the movable mass blocks. This structure allows for greater flexibility in design and provides higher sensitivity and larger actuation force on the sensor, and die size reduction is achieved while achieving more complex designs with higher accuracy and miniaturization.

  • Publication number: 20240337490
    Abstract: The present invention provides a dual-axis gyroscope and an electronic device. The dual-axis gyroscope comprises first mass blocks, second mass blocks, a driving unit and a detecting unit. Tightly coupled connections are formed between adjacent first mass blocks, and between adjacent second mass blocks, thus improving the accuracy of displacement ratios of the first mass blocks and the second mass blocks, and enhancing the operational accuracy and stability of the dual-axis gyroscope. Furthermore, the requirement for the machining precision of the first mass blocks and the second mass blocks is reduced, thus lowering the manufacturing cost of the dual-axis gyroscope and the electronic device.
