Design of a MEMS Capacitive Comb-drive Micro-accelerometer with Sag Optimization

The current paper presents an optimization study for the designing of a highly sensitive inertial grade capacitive accelerometer based on comb-drive actuation and sensing. The proof mass, suspension system (beams or tethers), stators and rotors have to be realized through an HAR (high aspect ratio)...
