Application areas MEMS sensors and actuators The primary direction of motion for many MEMS devices is defined by the principal plane of the device (in-plane, IP). Typical examples include inertial sensors such as accelerometers or gyroscopes. In another class of devices the principal direction of motion is perpendicular to the plane of the device (out-of-plane, OOP), typical examples are micro mirrors and mirror arrays, inkjet printing heads, microphones and pressure sensor membranes. However, in most cases the real performance cannot be characterized as either pure OOP or IP vibration. Instead,...
