How are SDI’s inertial sensors produced?
SDI’s unique quartz inertial sensors are micromachined using photolithographic processes, and are at the forefront of MEMS (Micro ElectroMechanical Systems) technology. These processes are similar to those used to produce millions of digital quartz watches each year. The use of piezoelectric quartz material simplifies the sensing element, resulting in exceptional stability over time and temperature, and exceptional reliability and durability.
