1. A method of forming a structure for a gyroscope sensor, the method comprising:
- forming a first dielectric over a substrate;
forming a material layer over the dielectric;
removing a first portion of the material layer to form a recess;
removing a second portion of the material layer to define a first channel between a gyro disk and a frame;
forming a second channel in the substrate corresponding to the first channel; and
removing a portion of the first dielectric to form a second dielectric between the gyro disk and the substrate.

Abstract
A method of forming a structure for a gyroscope sensor includes forming a first dielectric over a substrate and a material layer over the first dielectric layer. A first portion of the material layer is removed to form a recess and a second portion of the material layer is removed to define a first channel between a gyro disk and a frame. A second channel is formed in the substrate corresponding to the first channel, and a portion of the first dielectric is removed to form a second dielectric between the gyro disk and the substrate.

20. A method of forming a gyroscope sensor, the method comprising:
-
forming a first gyro disk spaced from a first frame by a first light channel, wherein the first light channel is capable of providing a first path for a first light beam that is capable of being sensed for determining movement of the first gyro disk in a first direction; forming a second light channel within the first gyro disk, wherein the second light channel is capable of providing a second path for a second light beam which is capable of being sensed for determining movement of the first gyro disk in a second direction, wherein the second direction is different from the first direction; and forming a second gyro disk spaced from a second frame by a third light channel, wherein the third light channel is capable of providing a third path for a third light beam that is capable of being sensed for determining movement of the second gyro disk in a third direction, wherein the third direction is different from the first direction and the second direction.
