Modelling and Design of MEMS Piezoresistive Out-of-Plane Shear and Normal Stress Sensors

In this paper, the design of MEMS piezoresistive out-of-plane shear and normal stress sensor is described. To improve the sensor sensitivity, a methodology by the incorporation of stress concentration regions, namely surface trenches in the proximity of sensing elements was explored in detail. The f...
