Highly linear and large spring deflection characteristics of a Quasi-Concertina MEMS device

In this work a Quasi-Concertina (QC) spring capable of a high linear range, large deflections, high out-of-plane compliance, and low in-plane compliance for MEMS applications is presented. These features are essential for high accuracy out-of-plane measurements such as those required in self-sensing...
