As 15 and Figure 16 be the schematic diagram and the profile of the angular-rate sensor 400 of embodiments of the present invention 4.This angular-rate sensor 400 is tuning-fork-type, is widely used in guider that is contained in the vehicle etc.
Angular-rate sensor 400, possessing by thickness is the substrate 500 that the silicon wafer of 0.3mm constitutes.This substrate 500, have fixed part 500a and from this fixed part 500a to the prescribed direction (direction that the rotary middle spindle of the angular speed of detection extends.Be the Y direction of Figure 15 in the present embodiment) a pair of vibration section 500b, the 500b that extend.These fixed parts 500a and a pair of vibration section 500b, 500b are from the thickness direction (the Z direction of Figure 15) of substrate 500, become tuning fork-like, a pair of vibration section 500b, 500b are equivalent to the arm of tuning fork, extend parallel to each other under the state of arranging on the Width of vibration section 500b.In addition, substrate 500 can be glass substrate, metal substrate, ceramic substrate etc.
On the part of vibration section 500b one side of each the vibration section 500b of substrate 500 and fixed part 500a, stacked gradually the 1st electrode film the 502, the 1st piezoelectric film the 504, the 2nd piezoelectric film 505 and the 2nd electrode film 506.The 1st electrode film 502, the stacked film of piezoelectrics and the 2nd electrode film 506 that are made of the 1st and the 2nd piezoelectric film 504,505 constitute piezoelectric element.This piezoelectric element is the same with the piezoelectric element 20 of execution mode 1.That is to say, the 1st electrode film the 502, the 1st piezoelectric film the 504, the 2nd piezoelectric film 505 and the 2nd electrode film 506, the 1st electrode film the 2, the 1st piezoelectric film the 4, the 2nd piezoelectric film 5 and the 2nd electrode film 6 with execution mode 1 is the same respectively.
The 2nd electrode film 506 is patterned on each vibration section 500b, be used to make two drive electrodes 507,507 of vibration section 500b in its Width (directions X of Figure 15) vibration, and a detecting electrode 508 of distortion (amount of deflection) that is used to detect the thickness direction (the Z direction of Figure 15) of vibration section 500b.
Two drive electrodes 507,507 are set on Width (directions X) both ends of vibration section 500b, cross over the appearance of the length direction (the Y direction of Figure 15) of whole vibration section 500b.The end of fixed part 500a one side of each drive electrode 507 is positioned at fixed part 500a and goes up formation splicing ear 507a.In addition, also can on Width one end of each vibration section 500b, a drive electrode 507 only be set.
On the other hand, detecting electrode 508 is set to cross over the length direction of whole vibration section 500b on the Width central portion of vibration section 500b.The end of fixed part 500a one side of detecting electrode 508, the same with drive electrode 507, be positioned at fixed part 500a and go up formation splicing ear 508a.In addition, also a plurality of detecting electrodes 508 can be set on each vibration section 500b.
The 1st electrode film 502 has on the middle position between a pair of vibration section 500b, the 500b on the fixed part 500a, towards opposite with vibration section 500b one side-prominent splicing ear 502a.
But, between the 1st electrode film 502 on each vibration section 500b and two drive electrodes 507,507, be applied with the voltage to frequency with the intrinsic vibration resonance of vibration section 500b, so that vibration section 500b is in its Width vibration.That is to say, the 1st electrode film 502 is applied earthed voltage, and two drive electrodes 507,507 are applied positive and negative reciprocal voltage, so, when Width one end side of each vibration section 500b was extended, other end side of vibration section 500b was shunk, vibration section 500b is in its other end side distortion, and when Width one end side of each vibration section 500b is shunk, other end side elongation of vibration section 500b, vibration section 500b is out of shape in the one end side.By alternately repeating this action, vibration section 500b is in its Width vibration.In addition, even only any one party of two drive electrodes 507,507 on each vibration section 500b is applied voltage, vibration section 500b is vibrated on its Width.And, a pair of vibration section 500b, 500b, direction opposite towards each other on the Width of each vibration section 500b is out of shape, the central authorities between a pair of vibration section 500b, 500b, and the L of Central Line that extends for the length direction at vibration section 500b vibrates symmetrically.
In angular-rate sensor 400, when making a pair of vibration section 500b, 500b when its Width (directions X) vibrates symmetrically for the L of Central Line, if to applying the words of angular velocity omega around the L of its Central Line, two vibration section 500b, 500b, because of Coriolis force in its thickness direction (Z direction) flexural deformation (a pair of vibration section 500b, 500b are towards the crooked same amount of mutually opposite direction).So, also bend, between the 1st electrode film 502 and detecting electrode 508, produce big or small corresponding voltage with Coriolis force at the stacked film of piezoelectrics.Can detect angular velocity omega from the size (Coriolis force) of this voltage.That is to say that if making the speed of the Width of each vibration section 500b is v, the quality that makes each vibration section 500b is m, then because of Coriolis force Fc=2mv ω, so can know angular velocity omega according to Coriolis force Fc.
