Abstract
A sensor includes a movable element adapted for rotational motion about a rotational axis due to acceleration along an axis perpendicular to a surface of a substrate. The movable element includes first and second ends, a first section having a first length between the rotational axis and the first end, and a second section having a second length between the rotational axis and the second end that is less than the first length. A motion stop extends from the second end of the second section. The first end of the first section includes a geometric stop region for contacting the surface of the substrate at a first distance away from the rotational axis. The motion stop for contacting the surface of the substrate at a second distance away from the rotational axis. The first and second distances facilitate symmetric stop performance between the geometric stop region and the motion stop.
