Abstract: In this study, we propose a novel asymmetric high-performance MEMS pendulum accelerometer comprising a sensitive structure and an interface circuit. The sensitive structure, designed with asymmetric mass blocks, significantly improves both sensitivity and structural stability. The sensor is fabricated using a double-side polished (100) N-type silicon wafer and its structure is ultimately realized through ICP (Inductively Coupled Plasma) etching. We also develop and fabricate the corresponding interface circuit. The accelerometer is evaluated through a static field roll-over test, demonstrating excellent performance with a sensitivity of 1.247 V/g and a nonlinearity of 0.8% within the measurement range of -2 g to 2 g.
