8.5 Thermal Accelerometers 309 Fig. 8.6. Basic schematic of a piezoelectric accelerometer. Acceleration of the case moves it relative to the mass, which exerts a force on the crystal. The output is directly proportional to the acceleration or vibration level. 8.4 Piezoelectric Accelerometers The piezoelectric effect (do not confuse it with a piezoresistive effect) has a natural application in sensing vibration and acceleration. The effect is a direct conversion of mechanical energy into electrical energy (Section 3.6 of Chapter 3) in a crystalline material composed of electrical dipoles. These sensors operate from frequencies as low as 2 Hz and up to about 5 kHz; they posses good off-axis noise rejection, high linearity, and a wide operating temperature range (up to 120 ◦ C).Although quartz crystals are occasionally used as sensing elements, the most popular are ceramic piezoelectric materials, such as barium titanate, lead zirconite titanate (PZT), and lead metaniobite. A crystal is sandwiched between the case and the seismic mass which exerts a force proportional to the acceleration on it (Fig. 8.6). In miniature sensors, a silicon structure is usually employed. Because silicon does not possess piezoelectric properties, a thin film of lead titanate can be deposited on a micromachined silicon cantilever to fabricate an integral miniature sensor. For good frequency characteristics, a piezoelectric signal is amplified by a charge-to-voltage or current-to-voltage converter which usually is built into the same housing as the piezoelectric crystal. 8.5 Thermal Accelerometers 8.5.1 Heated-Plate Accelerometer Because the basic idea behind an accelerometer is a measurement of the movement of seismic mass, a fundamental formula of heat transfer can be used for that measurement [see Eq. (3.125) of Chapter 3]. A thermal accelerometer, as any other accelerometer, contains a seismic mass suspended by a thin cantilever and positioned in close proximity to a heat sink or between two heat sinks (Fig. 8.7) [5]. The mass and the cantilever structure are fabricated using micromachine technology. The space between these components is filled with a thermally conductive gas. The mass is heated by a surface or imbedded heater to a defined temperature T 1 . Under the no-acceleration conditions a thermal equilibrium is established between the mass and the heat sinks: the amounts of heat q 1 and q 2 conducted to the heat sinks through gas from the mass is a function of distances M 1 and M 2 .
310 8 Velocity and Acceleration (A) (B) Fig. 8.7. Thermal accelerometer: (A) cross section of the heated part; (B) an accelerometer design (shown without the roof) (adapted from [5]) The temperature at any point in the cantilever beam supporting the seismic mass 3 depends on its distance from the support x and the gaps at the heat sinks. It can be found from d 2 T dx 2 − λ2 T = 0, (8.11) where √ K g (M 1 + M 2 ) λ = , (8.12) L si DM 1 M 2 where K g and K si are thermal conductivities of gas and silicon, respectively, and D is the thickness of a cantilever beam. For a boundary conditions, where the heat sink temperature is zero, a solution of Eq. (8.11) is P sinh(λx) T(x)= WDK si λ cosh(λL) , (8.13) where W and L is the width and length of the beam, respectively, and P is the thermal power. To measure that temperature, a temperature sensor can be deposited on the beam. It can be done by integrating silicone diodes into the beam, 4 or by forming serially connected thermocouples (a thermopile) on the beam surface. Eventually, the measured beam temperature in the form of an electrical signal is a measure of acceleration. The sensitivity of a thermal accelerometer (about 1% of change in the output signal per g) is somewhat smaller than that of the capacitive or piezoelectric types; however, it is much less susceptible to such interferences as ambient temperature or electromagnetic and electrostatic noise. 8.5.2 Heated-Gas Accelerometer Another interesting accelerometer uses gas as a seismic mass. The heated-gas accelerometer (HGA) was developed by MEMSIC Corporation (www.memsic.com). It is fabricated on a micromachined CMOS chip and is a complete biaxial motion measurement system. The principle of operation of the device is based on heat transfer by 3 Here, we assume steady-state conditions and neglect radiative and convective heat transfers. 4 See Chapter 16 for a description of a Si diode as a temperature sensor.
