Abstract
Three-axis monolithic microelectromechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers and methods for fabricating integrated capacitive and piezo accelerometers are provided. In an embodiment, a three-axis MEMS accelerometer includes a first sensing structure for sensing acceleration in a first direction. Further, the three-axis MEMS accelerometer includes a second sensing structure for sensing acceleration in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. Also, the three-axis MEMS accelerometer includes a third sensing structure for sensing acceleration in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and perpendicular to the second direction. At least one sensing structure is a capacitive structure and at least one sensing structure is a piezo structure.
