This paper reports on a fabrication process suitable for low-resonance-frequency inertial MEMS sensors. The low resonance frequency is attained by electrically tunable springs and a large mass formed by a through-silicon Deep-RIE (TSD) applied to a Silicon-on-Glass (SOG). To solve a thermal issue of TSD originating from the low-resonance-frequency structure, the heat dissipation is enhanced by introducing cooling time between the TSD steps and by adopting an Al hard mask. A blade dicing method that prevents MEMS damage is also presented. The device operation is confirmed by measurements.
