This work focuses on the short- and long-term accuracy of micromirrors built with silicon micromachining processes, embedding both lead-zirconatetitanate (PZT) thin films and buried piezoresistors (PZR). In particular, PZT-based and PZR-based sensing is comparatively characterized in terms of noise, temperature stability and hysteresis. In the best configuration, the system achieves 115 dB of SNR at 14° mechanical aperture (56° field of view) through the PZT output. Additionally, through a weighted sum of PZT and PZR sensing outputs, temperature stability is kept within ±0.6% over 80°C sweep on several samples, which is >10 times below the native values of the individual (PZT or PZR) outputs.

Abstract

This work focuses on the short- and long-term accuracy of micromirrors built with silicon micromachining processes, embedding both lead-zirconatetitanate (PZT) thin films and buried piezoresistors (PZR). In particular, PZT-based and PZR-based sensing is comparatively characterized in terms of noise, temperature stability and hysteresis. In the best configuration, the system achieves 115 dB of SNR at 14° mechanical aperture (56° field of view) through the PZT output. Additionally, through a weighted sum of PZT and PZR sensing outputs, temperature stability is kept within ±0.6% over 80°C sweep on several samples, which is >10 times below the native values of the individual (PZT or PZR) outputs.
