摘要

The optimum design of a biaxial MEMS accelerometer for low-g applications, along with its fabrication and testing, is reported in this paper. The monolithic structure was optimally designed based on a fully symmetric architecture with a high frequency ratio between the insensitive and the sensitive axes. The sensing substructure was designed, in turn, with a configurable comb-structure for simultaneous biaxial capacitive sensing. This accelerometer was fabricated with high precision and tested under 1-g acceleration, both statically and dynamically. The corresponding static sensitivity is 1.55 mu m/g, while the capacitance sensitivity is 113.5 fF/g.
