Abstract

See full text

An accelerometer and a method of fabricating an integrated accelerometer comprises the steps of providing an SOI wafer with a selected resistivity to eliminate any need for additional doping of the SOI wafer, providing a single mask on the SOI wafer, and simultaneously defining all components of the accelerometer in the SOI wafer without using any pn-junctions to define any piezoresistive components and to provide the same resistivity of all components. The step of simultaneously defining all components of the accelerometer in the SOI wafer comprises defining all components of a linear or angular accelerometer.
