Abstract

A piezoresistive rotation angle sensor is integrated in a micromirror device. The sensor detects the shear stress inside the torsion bar generated by the mirror rotation. The small sensor signal is successfully measured using the time-modulation method clearing the detailed performance of the sensor. The accuracy of 0.03 degrees is confirmed. The improved device design is illustrated.
