Abstract
High-performance MEMS accelerometers usually use a pendulum structure with a larger mass. Although the performance of the device is guaranteed, the manufacturing cost is high. This paper proposes a method of fabricating high-performance MEMS accelerometers with a TGV process, which can reduce the manufacturing cost and ensure the low-noise characteristics of the device. The TGV processing relies on laser drilling, the metal filling in the hole is based on the casting mold and CMP, and the packaging adopts the three-layer anodic bonding process. Moreover, for the first time, the casting mold process is introduced to the preparation of MEMS devices. In terms of structural design, the stopper uses distributed comb electrodes for overload displacement suppression, and the gas released by the packaging method provides excellent mechanical damping characteristics. The prepared accelerometer has an anti-overload capability of 10,000 g, the noise density is less than 0.001°/√Hz, and it has ultra-high performance in tilt measurement.
