  • Wide G Range Accelerometer
    Publication number: 20130263663
    Abstract: A MEMS device includes a substrate, a mass having a first and second set of elongated mass fingers extending from the mass, and a support structure supporting the mass on the substrate. The support structure may include at least one anchor and a plurality of springs that allow movement of the mass relative to the substrate. The MEMS device may also include a first set of sensing fingers for sensing movement of the first set of mass fingers relative to the first set of sensing fingers, and a second set of sensing figures for sensing movement of the second set of mass fingers relative to the second set of sensing fingers. The first and second sets of sensing fingers may have different size finger gaps between the sensing fingers and the respective mass fingers.
