Abstract
This paper introduces the capacitive bulk acoustic wave (BAW) silicon disk gyroscope. The capacitive BAW disk gyroscopes operate in the frequency range of 2-8MHz, are stationary devices with vibration amplitudes less than 20nm, and achieve very high quality factors (Q) in low vacuum (and even in atmosphere), which simplifies their wafer-scale packaging. The device has lower operating voltages compared to low-frequency gyroscopes, which simplifies the interface circuit design and implementation in standard CMOS
