Abstract: A accelerometer includes a substrate define a stationary electrode thereon, a first moveable mass defining a conductive-layer thereon facing the stationary electrode, a plurality of first elastic elements coupled with a peripheral side of the first moveable mass, a first fixed element surrounding the first moveable mass and fixedly attached to the substrate, a plurality of first fixed electrodes extending outwardly from the first fixed element, a second moveable mass surrounding the first fixed electrodes, a plurality of first moveable electrodes extending inwardly from the second moveable mass toward the first fixed element and parallel to the first fixed electrodes, respectively, a plurality of second elastic elements coupled with a peripheral side of the second moveable mass, and a second fixed element surrounding the second moveable mass and fixedly attached to the substrate.
