Gary Yama - Mountain View CA, US
Assignee:
Robert Bosch GmbH - Stuttgart
International Classification:
G01P 9/04
US Classification:
7350416, 7350412
Abstract:
A dual-axis tuning fork gyroscope includes four open-ended tuning forks arranged coplanarly in two opposite pairs, a first pair of open-ended tuning forks being arranged opposite one another along a first axis, a second pair of open-ended tuning forks being arranged opposite one another along a second axis, the first axis and the second axis being perpendicular to one another. The four open-ended tuning forks are mechanically coupled together so that all four tuning forks vibrate in the same manner in terms of frequency and phase.

7671515, Mar 2, 2010
Filed:
Nov 7, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/594525
Inventors:
Matthias Metz - Palo Alto CA, US
Zhiyu Pan - Palo Alto CA, US
Brian Stark - Palo Alto CA, US
Markus Ulm - Wannweil, DE
Gary Yama - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Robert Bosch, GmbH - Stuttgart
International Classification:
H01L 41/053
US Classification:
310340, 310338, 310344
Abstract:
There are many inventions described and illustrated herein. In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a MEMS device, and technique of fabricating or manufacturing a MEMS device, having mechanical structures encapsulated in a chamber prior to final packaging. An embodiment further includes location of a piezoelectric material as part of a semiconductor sensing structure. The semiconductor sensing structure, in conjunction with the piezoelectric material, can be used as a sensing device to provide an output signal associated with a sensed event.

Multi-Ring Resonator System And Method

View page
US Patent:
7750758, Jul 6, 2010
Filed:
Sep 5, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/850625
Inventors:
Pan Zhiyu - Shanghai, CN
Robert Candler - Palo Alto CA, US
Markus Lutz - Los Altos CA, US
Aaron Partridge - Cupertino CA, US
Gary Yama - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Robert Bosch GmbH - Stuttgart
International Classification:
H03H 9/46
H03H 9/48
US Classification:
333186, 333199
Abstract:
A system and method are provided which includes ring resonator structures coupled together with beam structure(s). The ring resonators are configured to operate in the contour or breathe mode. The center of the coupling beam structure is used as a nodal anchor point for anchoring the ring resonators and the beam structures, and also provides a reflecting interface. In an embodiment, the coupling beam structure includes two quarter-wavelength matched beams and an anchor located at a nodal point for coupling the two quarter-wavelength matched beams and ring resonator structures. The symmetric ring design also provides a differential drive and sense configuration while balancing the driving forces about the anchor located at the center of the beam structure. The system exhibits low energy losses while providing large sensing signals and a high quality factor (Q) of about 186,000 at a resonant frequency of about twenty-nine (29) MHz.

Filed:
Aug 16, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/205702
Inventors:
Gary Yama - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
Robert Bosch GmbH - Stuttgart
International Classification:
H01L 29/84
US Classification:
257415, 257417, 257419, 257E33056, 257E33058, 257E33059
Abstract:
There are many inventions described and illustrated herein. In one aspect, the present invention is directed to a MEMS device, and technique of fabricating or manufacturing a MEMS device, having mechanical structures encapsulated in a chamber prior to final packaging. An embodiment further includes a buried polysilicon layer and a “protective layer” deposited over the buried polysilicon layer to prevent possible erosion of, or damage to the buried polysilicon layer during processing steps. The material that encapsulates the mechanical structures, when deposited, includes one or more of the following attributes: low tensile stress, good step coverage, maintains its integrity when subjected to subsequent processing, does not significantly and/or adversely impact the performance characteristics of the mechanical structures in the chamber (if coated with the material during deposition), and/or facilitates integration with high-performance integrated circuits. In one embodiment, the material that encapsulates the mechanical structures is, for example, silicon (polycrystalline, amorphous or porous, whether doped or undoped), silicon carbide, silicon-germanium, germanium, or gallium-arsenide.
