High-resolution MEMS inclinometer based on pull-in voltage

High-resolution pull-in-based microelectromechanical system (MEMS) inclinometers are presented in this paper. Pull-in is characterized by the sudden loss of stability in electrostatically actuated parallel-plate structures, and since pull-in voltage is stable and easy to measure, it enables an effec...
