In this paper, design and optimization of a folded beam for a shunt capacitive MEMS accelerometer is presented together with a comparison of important parameters to five beams with different geometries in range of 20g -100g for crash detection. The structure contains a proof mass which is suspended over fixed rigid pull-down electrode to provide capacitance measurement. Powerful soft wares (COV...
