  • MEMS ACCELEROMETER WITH HORIZONTAL SENSE FINGERS
    Publication number: 20250115472
    Abstract: A micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) Z-axis accelerometer can comprise a substrate, a sensor configured to measure an acceleration along an axis that extends in a direction perpendicular to a plane of the substrate, and a spring axis configured to deform axially in response to the acceleration. The sensor can include a comb finger arrangement in which a comb finger overlap area is parallel with the spring axis. Fingers of the comb finger arrangement can extend in a non-sensing direction of lowest restoring force.
