Patent ID: 8760156

Claim:
An integrated MEMS magnetometer, comprising: a first suspended electrode structure extending in a first plane and configured to be flowed by a first current in the first plane; a first fixed electrode capacitively coupled to the first suspended electrode structure and extending in the first plane; and a second fixed electrode capacitively coupled to the first suspended electrode structure and extending in a second plane parallel to the first plane, the first suspended electrode structure being configured to be mobile transversely with respect to the first plane toward or away from the second fixed electrode in presence of a magnetic field having a component in a first direction parallel to the plane and transverse to the first current to be flowed in the first suspended electrode structure; and the first suspended electrode structure being configured to be mobile in the first plane and transverse to the first current to be flowed in the first suspended electrode structure in presence of a magnetic field having a component in a second direction perpendicular to the first plane.
