Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, an inertial sensor including a single proof-mass formed in an x-y plane of a device layer, the single proof-mass including a single, central anchor configured to suspend the single proof-mass above a via wafer. The inertial sensor further includes first and second electrode stator frames formed in the x-y plane of the device layer on respective first and second sides of the inertial sensor, the first and second electrode stator frames symmetric about the single, central anchor, and each separately including a central platform and an anchor configured to fix the central platform to the via wafer, wherein the anchors for the first and second electrode stator frames are asymmetric along the central platforms with respect to the single, central anchor.
