ABSTRACT:
A monolithic substrate for acceleration and angular rate sensing. The substrate comprises a support frame, and a first accelerometer formed in the substrate. The first accelerometer has a proof mass including first and second opposite edges. A flexure connects the first edge of the proof mass to the support frame. The flexure defines a hinge axis for the proof mass. The first accelerometer further includes a torsion stabilizing strut coupling a portion of the proof mass to the frame.
