Toko Miura,Silicon sensing systems Ltd is a 50% 50% joint venture, with its parent company "Sumitomo Precision Products" in Japan and "Collins Aerospace" in the United States, which manufactures and sells MEMS gyro sensors, acceleration, and MEMS foundry services.There are gyro sensors manufactured by our company in the Inductive, Capacitive, and Piezoelectric types, and Pinpoint is a gyro sensor using the third type of PZT piezoelectric thin film.The combination of the PZT piezoelectric system and the ring Si oscillator has excellent bias output stability with substantially no deterioration in gyro performance even in a vibration environment.Our PZT thin films have been improved for many years.Although it is generally considered that film quality control is difficult for PZT thin films, its management technology and individual adjustments in the die state succeeded in mass production of PZT gyros.By optimizing the upper electrode and adopting the ALD multilayer film, reliability can be maintained even at a voltage three times the conventional

PZT-based MEMS gyroscopes and inkjet printer heads have been commercialized by Japanese companies many years before. Since then, there was almost no new kind of PZT-based MEMS commercialized. Recently, several new kinds of PZT-based MEMS including micromirror, microspeaker and varifocal lens are getting commercialized. This is partly because the reliability of PZT films has been improved and partly because PZT-based MEMS foundry services have been matured. What is the next wave? It may be made by single crystal (epitaxial) PZT films, exhibiting both high piezoelectric constant and low dielectric constant. One of promising applications is pMUT.Another new wave of piezoelectric microdevices is the advancement of SAW devices using a single crystal LiTaO3 or LiNbO3 film on a support substrate, followed by rapid growth of BAW and SAW filters. A new type of SAW device, Hetero Acoustic Layer (HAL) SAW device, using thin LiTaO3 on bulk quartz has achieved a very high impedance ratio (k2×Q), near-zero TCF and spurious-free response. The HAL SAW filters are promising for difficult-to-deal bands, complex carrier aggregation and sub-6 GHz 5G communication.
