In our previous work, we studied capacitive micro-accelerometers fabricated using a simple silicon-on-insulator (SOI)-MEMS technology, studied the feasibility of an accelerometer with a beam length as long as the side length of the proof mass. This paper investigates the dependences of their sensitivities and resonant frequencies on the beam parameter and its configuration, and studies the method of designing the stuctures of capactive accelerometers with beam lengths as long as the side length of the proof mass for miniaturizing the device.
