Welcome to Bilkent MEMS Research Group Website!

Our current research interests include:

  • Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) design
  • Microfabrication of MEMS sensors
  • Discrete and integrated (ASIC) MEMS readout circuits
  • Analytical modeling of MEMS
  • MEMS digital control
  • Characterization and advanced sensor calibration

Current projects:

Advanced sensor calibration with on-chip stress sensing

n=2 operational modes of the ring gyroscope

Drive mode, cos⁡(2𝜃)
Sense mode, sin⁡(2𝜃)

Visualization of on-chip stress:

Evolution of 2-D stress over temperature within the ring gyroscope, calculated with our strain interpolation algorithm utilizing the on-chip stress sensors

The conflict strain and displacement captured by the stress sensors, which is inhomogeneous and causes unpredictable gyroscope behaviour.  Measuring these strains enables a no-drift gyroscope.

Total strain and displacement (thermal expansion + conflict strain), which is mostly uniform.  The nonuniformity of these fields is plotted on the left.
