Area of Science:

  • MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems)
  • Solid-state physics
  • Mechanical engineering

Background:

  • Micromechanical resonant accelerometers offer adjustable sensitivity via detection voltage.
  • High-order nonlinearities between output frequency and acceleration complicate microstructure design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Establish a dynamic equation for electrostatic stiffness-based accelerometers.
  • Investigate the relationship between design parameters, sensitivity, and voltage.
  • Develop a numerical simulation model for improved accelerometer design.

Main Methods:

  • Derived the dynamic equation considering beam stiffness ratios.
  • Fabricated silicon microstructures with vacuum packaging.
  • Conducted experimental tests to measure sensitivity and observe voltage-dependent phenomena.

Main Results:

  • Achieved a sensitivity of 44.5 Hz/g at 1V detection voltage, increasing to over 300 Hz/g at 3V.
  • Observed coupling between vibration amplitude and frequency with increased voltages.
  • Identified structural failure of the double-stage folded beam above 10V detection voltage.

Conclusions:

  • The dynamic model provides a theoretical basis for designing electrostatic stiffness-based accelerometers.
  • Sensitivity is effectively tunable with detection voltage, but higher voltages introduce coupling and potential failure.
  • A validated numerical simulation model supports closed-loop control circuit design.
