Fully symmetrical MEMS gyroscope can effectively overcome the limitations of current processing conditions, effectively suppress the interference force, improve the environmental adaptability of the device, and greatly improve the performance of the gyroscope, which is an important breakthrough in the design of high-performance micromachined gyroscope structure. This dissertation focuses on the design and optimization of high-performance planar fully symmetric gyroscopes and the research on the design and process of three-dimensional fully symmetric gyroscopes.In the aspect of the design and optimization of planar fully symmetric gyroscopes, the scheme of the Center Support Quadruple Mass Gyroscope (CSQMG) is proposed for the first time. By connected N-shaped serpentine beams and Y-shaped coupling beams to four lumped masses and supported by a single anchor square-shaped support frame, a quadruple mass circle resonator is formed, that possess the advantages of large process capacity, high detection accuracy, and good environmental adaptability. In order to give full play to the new design, this dissertation proposes a systematic optimization method for the comprehensive design of the new structure, according to three levels, that is structure optimization, comb tooth optimization and layout optimization. After optimization, experiments show Allan variance stability 0.12°/h (@100s) and the white noise level about 0.72°/h/√Hz, which means that the CSQMG possesses great potentials to achieve navigation grade performance.In structural error mechanism analysis of the planar fully symmetric gyroscopes, the method of structural parameter identification based on frequency response is applied to MEMS multi-mass resonator for the first time. The 12-DOF dynamic model of the quadruple mass circle resonator with a maximum error less than 1.74% is constructed through reasonable model simplification, moment operator derivation, static equation solution, Moore method flexibility calculation, and vibration mechanics simplification. In the identification experiment, referring to the SEM and finite element simulation results, the parameter identification results were linearly compensated for a small range. The maximum error of ± 0.5μm in the manufacturing process and the maximum deviation of 0.17μm after compensation confirmed the precision of the identification method.The research on the modeling and simulation of planar symmetric gyroscopes provides sufficient technical means to construct the sensitive structural model of the micro-hemispherical gyroscope. In the aspect of three-dimensional fully symmetric gyroscope, the theoretical calculation and simulation of hemispherical sensitive structures are carried out by means of the above-mentioned methods, and the ultimate precision of the sensitive structures of the hemispheres is deduced, which puts forward the specific precision requirements for the processing of sensitive structures in the hemispheres. The theoretical calculation (by the vibrational equation of the hemispherical resonator) and the finite element simulation are used to calculate the capacitance and the capacitance variations of the three type electrodes, that is the spherical electrode, the planar electrode and the cylindrical electrode, respectively, providing various feasible solutions for the hemispherical gyroscope.In the research of three-dimensional fully symmetric gyroscope technology, a high temperature (below 1800℃) furnace equipment with visible internal workspace and adjustable pressure range (less than 101kPa) is designed and applied to monitor the whole process, which provides sufficient conditions for hemispherical thermoforming studies. For the first time, a semi-molded thermoforming process with batch reproducibility is proposed to maximize the technological characteristics of fused quartz under ultra-high temperature. Based on meeting the process requirements and ensuring batch consistency, the process cost is reduced to provide sufficient support for subsequent process steps. This research laid the technical foundation for the next generation of high-precision /large-scale MEMS gyroscopes.
