Abstract:
1. A micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) magnetometer, comprising: first fixed electrodes; second fixed electrodes; a mobile element to rotate about a first rotation axis along a first direction and translate along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; mobile electrodes extending from the mobile element and being interdigitated with the first fixed electrodes to form one or more first sensor assemblies; a rotation element to rotate about a second rotation axis along the second direction, the rotation element having a surface opposite the second fixed electrodes to form one or more second sensor assemblies, the second fixed electrode being displaced from the surface of the rotation element along a third direction orthogonal to the first and the second directions; and a trace on but insulated from the mobile element and the rotation element, the trace comprising:
