Abstract
An acceleration sensor comprises an upper semiconductor substrate having a rigid frame, four deformable beams connected with the rigid frame, and a weight portion supported by the plurality of deformable beams, a lower semiconductor substrate bonded to the rigid frame, a plurality of movable electrodes attached to the weight portion, and electrically isolated from one another, and a plurality of stationary electrodes attached to the second semiconductor substrate, and opposite to the plurality of movable electrodes for forming a plurality of variable capacitors, and the center of gravity of the weight portion is spaced from a common neutral surface of the four beams for allowing acceleration to produce bending moment exerted on the four beams, thereby causing the variable capacitors to independently change the capacitance.
