Abstract
A sensor which measures parameters such as acceleration, rotation and magnetic field comprises a substrate defining a plane and at least one sensing plate suspended above the substrate for movement in a sensing direction orthogonal to the substrate plane. A detection arm suspended above the substrate is rotational about an axis parallel to the substrate plane. An out-of-plane coupling structure couples the sensing plate to the detection arm for generating rotational movement of the detection arm, which is detected by a rotation detection structure. A pivot element arranged at a distance from the coupling structure facilitates tilting movement of the sensing plate.
