Abstract

A high sensitivity silicon-germanium accelerometer based on meso-piezoresistance effect is proposed in this letter,we took Si1-xGex/Si film as core component,and deviced double cantilever beamwith structure piezoresistive silicon-germanium acceleration sensor.The influence of adscititious stress on the sensitivity are analyzed by theoretic analysis and emulational calculation,based on it,we can draw the conclution that sensitivity of piezoresistive silicon-micro acceleration sensor are increased one-number-lever.The perference to the optimization of the stucture is provided.
