Abstract

A microminiature resonant hollow beam sensor is manufactured by micromachining and microfabrication techniques. Specifically, a sensor is formed by etching troughs in a pair of silicon substrates, joining the substrates face-to-face, and etching away unwanted material to free the resonant hollow beam sensors.
