초록

In this study, a silicon piezoresistive accelerometer is designed and fabricated using $p^+$ etch stop layer. The accelerometer consists of a seismic mass and tour cantilevers, and is fabricated mainly by the anisotropic etching method using EPW as an etchant. Eight piezoresistors are properly arranged and connected to make a bridge circuit so that acceleration in only one direction may be measured. The etch stop method is adequate to the mass-production and the precise thickness control of the diaphragms as well, whet compared with the electrochemecal etch stop method.
