Abstract

In this work, we report a high performance MEMS electrometer based on a clamped-free semi-circular beams (CFCB) resonator with a new sensing scheme of vibration perturbation. The CFCB resonator vibrating at elastic mode aims to eliminate the nonlinearity that widely exists in traditional double-ended tuning forks (DETF) sensors and lower the temperature coefficient of frequency. The charge sensing scheme of vibration perturbation has been realized by using the electric charge induced attractive electrostatic force to perturb the vibration of elastic mode and lead to a frequency modulation, which shows a sensitivity higher than the axial strain modulation scheme of DETF over one order of magnitude.
