Analysis of electrical responses of MEMS piezoresistive microcantilever

In this paper, an optimization of mechanical and electrical performance of single-layer silicon piezoresistive microcantilever (PRM) sensor in which both piezoresistor and microcantilever structures are made of the same material of single-crystalline silicon was discussed. Using CoventorWare 2008, t...
