Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an integrated chip structure including a MEMS actuator. The MEMS actuator includes an anchor having a first plurality of branches extending outward from a central region of the anchor. The first plurality of branches respectively include a first plurality of fingers. A proof mass surrounds the anchor and includes a second plurality of branches extending inward from an interior sidewall of the proof mass. The second plurality of branches respectively include a second plurality of fingers interleaved with the first plurality of fingers as viewed in a top-view. One or more curved cantilevers are coupled between the proof mass and a frame wrapping around the proof mass. The one or more curved cantilevers have curved outer surfaces having one or more inflection points as viewed in the top-view.
