Patent ID: 6841838

Claim:
An assembly for making a MEM tunneling gyroscope therefrom, thc assembly comprising: (a) a beam structure, first portions of side drive electrodes and a mating structure defined on a first substrate or wafer; (b) sense electrodes, second portions of the side drive electrodes and a mating structure defined on a second substrate or wafer, the mating structure on the second substrate or wafer being of a complementary shape to the mating structure on the first substrate or wafer; and the second portions of the side drive electrodes being of a complementary shape to the first portions of side drive electrodes on the first substrate or wafer; and (c) a pressure/heat sensitive bonding layer disposed on at least one of said mating structures and on at least one of said first and second portions of the side drive electrodes for bonding the mating structure defined on the first substrate or wafer to mating structure on the second substrate or wafer and for bonding said first and second portions of the side drive electrodes together in response to the application of pressure/heat therebetween.
