MEMS GYROSCOPE HAVING AN IMPROVED REJECTION OF THE QUADRATURE ERROR

The MEMS gyroscope (1) is formed by a substrate (5), a first mass (7) and a second mass (10), wherein the first and the second masses are suspended over the substrate and extend, at rest, in a plane of extension (XY) defining a first direction (X) and a second direction (Y) transversal to the first direction. The MEMS gyroscope further has a drive structure (48) coupled to the first mass and configured, in use, to cause a movement of the first mass in the first direction, and an elastic coupling structure (25), which extends between the first mass and the second mass and is configured to couple the movement of the first mass in the first direction (X) with a movement of the second mass in the second direction (Y). The elastic coupling structure has a first portion (27, 28, 30, 31, 36, 37) having a first stiffness and a second portion (26, 33, 34) having a second stiffness greater than the first stiffness. The first portion of the elastic coupling structure extends, at rest, in the first and the second directions, and the second portion extends, at rest, in a third direction (C), in the plane of extension, transversal to the first and the second directions.
