Abstract
An oscillation gyro ( ) including a stainless steel base member ( ) which is a quadratic prism, wherein the base member ( ) has through holes ( ) extending in the directions crossing at right angles at the upper and lower portions thereof respectively, and further includes slide plates ( ) constituting a parallel plate portion ( ) and slide plates ( ) constituting a parallel plate portion ( ). Preferably, a titanium film ( ) is formed by sputtering on each of the outer side surfaces of the parallel plate portions ( ), and a thin PZT film ( ) is formed on the entire outer surface of the titanium film ( ). Pairs of electrode films ( ) of aluminum are formed on the respective thin PZT films ( ) up and down. The respective electrode films ( ) have a thickness of several um and the same area. Pads ( ) are formed at the lower ends of the base member ( ) serving as fixed ends, and are connected to extension portions ( ) extending from the electrode film ( ). Lead wires ( ) connected to the pads ( ) suppress a change in the rigidity of the parallel plate portions ( ) caused by the connection of lead wires.
