Abstract
Description
上記振動子部は、環状のフレームと、複数の振り子部と、複数の圧電駆動部と、複数の第1の圧電検出部と、複数の第2の圧電検出部とを有する。上記環状のフレームは、第1の主面を有する。上記複数の振り子部は、上記フレームに支持される一端部をそれぞれ有する。上記複数の圧電駆動部は、圧電膜と上記圧電膜を挟んで対向する第1及び第2の駆動用電極とをそれぞれ有し、上記フレームを上記第1の主面に平行な面内で振動させる。上記複数の第1の圧電検出部は、第1の検出用電極をそれぞれ有し、上記フレームの上記第1の主面における変形量に基づいて上記第1の主面に垂直な第1の軸まわりの角速度を検出する。上記複数の第2の圧電検出部は、第2の検出用電極をそれぞれ有し、上記複数の振り子部の上記第1の主面に垂直な方向における変形量に基づいて上記第1の軸と直交する2軸方向の角速度を検出する。
上記環状のベース部は、複数の端子部を有し、上記振動子部の周囲に配置される。
上記複数の連結部は、上記振動子部と上記ベース部との間に配置され、上記ベース部に対して上記振動子部を振動可能に支持する。
上記配線層は、複数の駆動用配線と、複数の検出用配線とを有する。上記複数の駆動用配線は、上記第1及び第2の駆動用電極にそれぞれ接続され、相互に隣接して並走する。上記複数の検出用配線は、上記第1及び第2の検出用電極にそれぞれ接続され、相互に隣接して並走する。上記配線層は、上記複数の連結部にそれぞれ設けられ、上記複数の端子部と、上記複数の圧電駆動部、第1の圧電検出部及び第2の圧電検出部との間をそれぞれ電気的に接続する。
この状態で、フレームに第1の軸まわりへの角速度が作用すると、上記フレームに対しその瞬間での振動方向と直交する方向のコリオリ力が発生することで、当該フレームが第1の主面に平行な面内で変形する。複数の第1の圧電検出部は、当該フレームの変形量に基づいて第1の軸まわりの角速度に対応する検出信号を出力する。
一方、第1の軸と直交する軸まわりへの角速度が作用すると、複数の振り子部に対しその瞬間での振動方向と直交する方向のコリオリ力が発生することで、当該振り子部が第1の主面に垂直な方向に変形する。複数の第2の圧電検出部は、当該振り子部の変形量に基づいて当該軸まわりの角速度に対応する検出信号を出力する。
このように上記センサ素子は、相互に直交する3軸まわりの角速度を検出することが可能に構成される。
上記構成によれば、複数の駆動用配線及び検出用配線を連結部の同一平面上に形成することができるとともに、同一平面上に配置された駆動用配線及び検出用配線の相互間における信号のクロストークを低減することができる。これにより、素子の小型化を可能としつつ、角速度検出精度の劣化を抑制することが可能となる。
これにより、振動子部の機械的な対称性が保たれるため、ねじれを生じさせることなく振動子部を所定の振動モードで安定に振動させることが可能となる。
第1及び第2の検出用配線のうちインピーダンスが低くノイズの影響を受けにくい検出用配線を駆動用配線の隣に配置することで、クロストークの影響を小さくすることが可能となる。
各連結部において、検出用配線に近接する駆動用配線の極性を同一とすることで、演算処理において角速度信号に重畳するノイズ成分をキャンセルすることが可能となる。

なお、ここに記載された効果は必ずしも限定されるものではなく、本開示中に記載されたいずれかの効果であってもよい。
本実施形態のジャイロセンサ1は、センサ素子100と、コントローラ200とを備える。ジャイロセンサ1は、全体的に略直方体形状に形成された単一のパッケージ部品として構成され、センサ素子100がコントローラ200の上に実装されたCOC(Chip On Chip)構造を有する。ジャイロセンサ1は、例えば、縦及び横がそれぞれ約2mm、厚みが約0.7mmの寸法で構成される。
続いて、センサ素子100の詳細について説明する。図2は、センサ素子100の一構成例を示す概略斜視図であり、コントローラ200に対向する素子の裏面側を示している。
図3は、振動子部101の構成を模式的に示す平面図である。
振動子部101は、四辺を有する環状のフレーム10を備える。フレーム10は、a軸方向に横方向、b軸方向に縦方向、c軸方向に厚み方向を有する。一方、図3において、a軸に平行な軸方向にY軸が設定され、b軸に平行な軸方向にX軸が設定される。Z軸方向は、c軸方向に平行な軸方向である。
振動子部101は、複数の振り子部21a,21b,21c,21dを有する。
振動子部101は、フレーム10をその主面10sに平行なXY平面内で振動させる複数の圧電駆動部を有する。
第1の圧電駆動部31及び第2の圧電駆動部32には、一方が伸びたとき他方が縮むように相互に逆位相の電圧が印加される。これにより、第2の梁の組12a,12bは、両端が接続部13a~13dに支持された状態でa軸方向に撓み変形を受け、XY平面内において双方が離間する方向と双方が近接する方向とに交互に振動する。第1の梁11a,11bの組も同様に、両端が接続部13a~13dに支持された状態でb軸方向に撓み変形を受け、XY平面内において双方が離間する方向と双方が近接する方向とに交互に振動する。
振動子部101は、図3に示すように、複数の第1の圧電検出部51a,51b,51c、51dをさらに有する。第1の圧電検出部51a~51dは、フレーム10の主面10sにおける変形量に基づいて、主面10sに垂直なZ軸(第1の軸)まわりの角速度を検出する。第1の圧電検出部51a~51dは、4つの接続部13a~13dの主面10s上にそれぞれ設けられた4つの圧電検出部を含む。
一方、X軸まわりの角速度及びY軸まわりの角速度を検出する検出部として、振動子部101は、複数の第2の圧電検出部71a,71b,71c,71dを有する。第2の圧電検出部71a~71dは、複数の振り子部21a~21dのZ軸方向における変形量に基づいて、Z軸と直交する2軸方向(例えばX軸方向及びY軸方向)の角速度を検出する。第2の圧電検出部71a~71dは、4つの振り子部21a~21dにそれぞれ設けられた4つの圧電検出部を含む。
本実施形態のセンサ素子100は、参照電極61を有する。参照電極61は、梁12a及び梁12b上に第2の圧電駆動部32と隣接して配置されている。参照電極61は、第1及び第2の圧電検出部51a~51d、71a~71dと同様の構成を有しており、下部電極層と、圧電膜と、上部電極層との積層体で構成され、梁12a,12bの機械的変形を電気信号に変換する機能を有する。下部電極層は、グランド電位等の基準電位に接続され、上部電極層は参照信号(FB)を出力する検出用電極として機能する。
ここで、コントローラ200の詳細について説明する。図8は、コントローラ200の構成を示すブロック図である。
なお、Gz1端子及びGz3端子はそれぞれ共通の端子で構成されてもよく、Gz2端子及びGz4端子はそれぞれ共通の端子で構成されてもよい。この場合、Gz1端子及びGz3端子に接続される配線は途中で相互に一体化され、Gz2端子及びGz4端子に接続される配線は途中で相互に一体化される。
続いて、センサ素子100の枠体102について説明する。
ベース部81は、振動子部101の外側を囲む四角形状の枠体で構成されている。ベース部81は、フレーム10の主面10sと同一の平面上に形成された矩形環状の主面81sを有し、その主面81s上にはコントローラ200に対して電気的に接続される複数の端子部(電極パッド)810が設けられている。主面81sの反対側の面は、接合層W3を介して支持層W2に接合される。支持層W2は、ベース部81と同様の枠体で構成され、ベース部81を部分的に支持する。
連結部82は、ベース部81に対して振動子部101を振動可能に支持する複数の連結部82a,82b,82c,82dを含む。各連結部82a~82dは、フレーム10の各接続部13a~13dからベース部81に向かって延びる。連結部82a~82dは、振動子部101に接続される第1の端部821と、ベース部81に接続される第2の端部822とをそれぞれ有し、フレーム10の振動を受けて、主としてXY平面内において変形可能に構成される。すなわち連結部82a~82dは、振動子部101を振動可能に支持するサスペンションとして機能する。
枠体102は、ベース部81上の複数の端子部810と、フレーム10(110)上の駆動用電極(D1,D2)及び検出用電極(S1,S2,61)との間をそれぞれ電気的に接続する配線層をさらに有する。図10は、センサ素子100の配線レイアウトを説明する概略平面図である。
なお、各配線層La~Lbにおいて検出用配線LS1,LS2に近接する駆動用配線の種類を統一することで、検出用配線に漏れ込む駆動信号の極性が同一となり、これにより、駆動用配線と検出用配線との間のクロストークが生じたとしても、後述するように各軸まわりの角速度の演算過程においてノイズ成分が効率よくキャンセルされる。
本実施形態のセンサ素子100において、振動子部101は、複数の連結部82a~82dを介してベース部81に支持されており、複数の圧電駆動部31,32は、フレーム10(110)及び複数の振り子部21a~21dを主面10sに平行な面内で相互に同期して振動させる。
この状態で、フレーム10(110)にZ軸まわりへの角速度が作用すると、例えば図6に示すように、フレーム10(110)に対しその瞬間での振動方向と直交する方向のコリオリ力が発生することで、当該フレームが主面10sに平行な面内で変形する。複数の第1の圧電検出部51a~51dは、当該フレームの変形量に基づいてZ軸まわりの角速度に対応する検出信号を出力する。
一方、X軸およびY軸まわりへの角速度が作用すると、例えば図7に示すように、複数の振り子部21a~21dに対しその瞬間での振動方向と直交する方向のコリオリ力が発生することで、当該振り子部が主面10sに垂直な方向に変形する。複数の第2の圧電検出部71a~71dは、当該振り子部の変形量に基づいてX軸又はY軸まわりの角速度に対応する検出信号を出力する。
図16に駆動信号の振幅の温度依存性の一例を示す。図16に示すように、駆動信号の振幅は、50℃の温度差で約5%変化する。使用温度範囲を例えば-10℃~75℃とすると、駆動信号の振幅は約8%変化する。
図17は、駆動信号が8%変化したときのクロストーク量と出力変化量との関係を示す一実験結果である。駆動信号振幅が3Vpp、クロストーク量が-66.8dBの場合、駆動信号振幅が8%変化すると、コントローラ200の平滑回路205z(図8参照)から出力される直流電圧信号(ωz)の変動量は約2.1dps(degree per second)に相当する。この値は、センサモジュール全体としての目標スペックに無視できない影響を与える。
なお図9に示したフレーム110にも、上述と同様の重錘部が設けられてもよい。
