| The invention relates to a device for determining frequency and/or amplitude of an oscillating structure that is especially used in measuring acceleration or rotational rates. Said device has a movable element (2) that can be excited to produce an oscillation. A pair of position sensors (10, 11) is used for determining the deflection of the movable element (2), whereby the position sensors (10, 11) are disposed in such a way that their measured values mutually exceed or fall short of each other during a half-wave of the oscillation. A comparator is used for comparing the measured values of both position sensors (10, 11), on the basis of which a threshold value (Us) is determined for the half-wave of the oscillation. A time measuring device is used for determining the duration during which the measured value of one of the two position sensors (10, 11) exceeds or falls short of the threshold value (Us). The position sensors (10, 11) can be, for instance, capacitances whose electrodes are disposed stepwise. The amplitude of the oscillation is determined independently of any possible parallel displacement of the movable element (2) so that no further disruption of measuring results occurs. | ||||||

| A MEMS structure for a combined gyroscope and accelerometer unit (100) based on in-plane vibratory movements comprises a proof mass (101) and comb-drives (102) operable to cause the proof mass (101) to resonate in the x-direction, commonly referred to as the primary mode. Under the influence of a rotation Oz around the z- axis, a Coriolis force acting in the y-direction results. This excites the secondary (or sense) mode. A set of parallel-plate capacitors 103 are provided to enable position readout along the secondary axis. In addition to the above, the comb-drive capacitors (102) of the primary mode can also be used for readout of position along the primary axis, and the parallel-plate capacitors (103) for actuation along the secondary axis. This can be achieved either by time-multiplexing these capacitors (102, 103) or by providing separate sets of capacitors (102, 103) for sensing and actuation along each axis. The unit can operate in separate S? force-feedback loops with respect to both axes. This force-feedback approach is already known for readout of the secondary mode of MEMS gyroscopes. It has not previously been applied to the primary mode of a gyroscope for the measurement of a component of acceleration. | ||||||

| In one embodiment, the process flow for a capacitive pressures sensor is combined with the process flow for an inertial sensor. In this way, an inertial sensor is realized within the membrane layer of the pressure sensor. The device layer is simultaneously used as z-axis electrode for out-of-plane sensing in the inertial sensor, and/or as the wiring layer for the inertial sensor. The membrane layer (or cap layer) of the pressure sensor process flow is used to define the inertial sensor sensing structures. Insulating nitride plugs in the membrane layer are used to electrically decouple the various sensing structures for a multi-axis inertial sensor, allowing for fully differential sensing. | ||||||
