Abstract: A MEMS-sensor structure comprising first means and second means coupled for double differential detection and positioned symmetrically to provide quantities for the double differential detection in a phase shift. If the sensor deforms, due to a specifically symmetric positioning of the first and second means, the effect of the displacement is at least partly eliminated.

Abstract: A MEMS structure comprises an anchor, a spring, and a seismic mass that is suspended to the anchor via the spring to pivot around an axis of rotation. Errors from unwanted vibration modes are reduced by including in the MEMS structure a spring structure that extends from the seismic mass to the anchor. Said spring structure comprises a side arm that is connected to the seismic mass or the anchor. At least part of the spring structure is formed by a side arm that extends in the spring structure in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the seismic mass; and is attached to one end of the spring.
