△ [19a-E304-7] A Study on SCD Electrodes for Au-Proof-Mass 3-axis MEMS Accelerometer (2)
Keywords:MEMS Accelerometer, Multi-layer metal technology, high resolution
This paper describes relationships between the sensitivity of Au proof-mass tri-axis MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) accelerometer and the structure parameter of SCD (segmented capacitance detection) electrode. We have proposed SCD for high resolution Au proof-mass MEMS accelerometers. The SCD is useful to simplify the MEMS structures. We investigate analytical equations to obtain the sensitivity. As a result, it is revealed that the sensitivity changes as a function of the SCD structure parameter.
