This invention relates to an apparatus for making highly sensitive differential measurements of acceleration. The vibration sensor includes the use of moveable gate field effect transistors to sense the motion of a cantilever beam relative to the motion sensed by a reference structure, it also includes an actuator element formed by a pair of electrodes actuating electrostatically on the beam. A feedback control loop is also included for force balance operation resulting in a very wide dynamic range for the sensor.

This invention relates to an apparatus for making highly sensitive measurements of acceleration. The vibration sensor includes the use of a movable gate field effect transistor to sense the motion of a cantilever beam with respect to its base, it also includes an actuator element formed by a pair of electrodes actuating electrostatically on the beam. A feedback control loop is also included for force balance operation resulting in a very wide dynamic range for the sensor.
