Extract

Many microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) use the changing capacitance of movable parallel plates to drive and sense motion. An increase in this capacitance improves the performance of these micromechanical structures by means of increased electromechanical coupling for lower driving voltages and increased sensitivity of the micromechanical motion.
