Abstract
A gyroscope and temperature sensor are formed on a single chip using SOI-MEMS technology. The temperature sensor has an array of resistors to accurately detect the temperature of the gyroscope in temperatures and conditions that can range from extreme heat to extreme cold. The positioning of the gyroscope and temperature sensor on the same chip allow for extremely accurate real-time feedback of the gyroscope's temperature for utilization by a control system.
