Tunable seesaw-like 3D capacitive sensor for force and acceleration sensing
Abstract To address the resource-competing issue between high sensitivity and wide working range for a stand-alone sensor, development of capacitive sensors with an adjustable gap between two electrodes has been of growing interest. While several approaches have been developed to fabricate tunable c...
