A novel design of piezoelectric aluminum nitride (AlN)-Si composite cantilever gyroscope is proposed in this paper. The cantilever is stimulated to oscillate in plane by two inverse voltages which are applied on the two paralleled drive electrodes, respectively. The whole working principles are deduced, which based on the piezoelectric equation and elastic vibration equation. In this work, a cantilever gyroscope has been simulated and optimized by COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2a. The drive mode frequency is 87.422 kHz, and the sense mode frequency is 87.414 kHz. The theoretical sensitivity of this gyroscope is 0.145 pm/◦/s. This gyroscope has a small size and simple structure. It will be a better choice for the consumer electronics.

Acceleration-based sensors are widely used in indicating the severity of damage caused to structural buildings during dynamic events. The force rate of change is of interest when investigating the effect of seismic waves on structural elements, and hence the calculation of the jerk is necessary. For most sensors, the technique used for measuring the jerk (m/s) is based on differentiating the time-acceleration signal.

Aiming at the problems of low sensitivity and low accuracy caused by the displacement transfer mechanism of three displacement sensors used simultaneously in the 3D displacement monitoring of seismic isolation bearings, the paper has proposed a high-sensitivity rotatable 3D displacement sensor. The sensor adds through holes on the surface of the equal-strength cantilever beam to form a cross beam, which increases the bending strain on the beam surface to improve the sensitivity. By adding a gyroscope and a mechanical rotation structure, a single sensor can measure the 3D displacement at the same time, reducing the adverse effects displacement transmission mechanism on the accuracy of the measurement.

Electrostatic force nonlinearity is widely present in MEMS systems, which could impact the system sensitivity performance. The Frequency modulation (FM) method is proposed as an ideal solution to solve the problem of environmental fluctuation stability. The effect of electrostatic force nonlinearity on the sensitivity performance of a class of FM micro-gyroscope is investigated.

Gyroscopes are one of the next killer applications for the MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) sensors industry. Many mature applications have already been developed and produced in limited volumes for the automotive, consumer, industrial, medical, and military markets. Plenty of high-volume applications, over 100 million per year, have been calling for low-cost gyroscopes.
