摘要
Analog Devices ( ADI) has designed and fabricated a monolithic high- g acceleration sensor ( ADXSTC3- HG) fabricated with the ADI silicon- on- insulator micro- electro- mechanical system ( SOI- MEMS) process. The SOI- MEMS sensor structure has a thickness of 10 um, allowing for the design of inertial sensors with excellent cross- axis rejection. The high- g accelerometer discussed in this paper was designed to measure in- plane acceleration to 10,000 g while subjected to 100,000 g in the orthogonal axes. These requirements were intended to meet Army munition applications. The monolithic sensor was packaged in an 8- pin leadless chip carrier ( LCC- 8) and was successfully demonstrated by the US Army Research Laboratory ( ARL) as part of an inertial measurement unit during an instrumented flight experiment of artillery projectiles launched at 15,000 g.
