Abstract: With the springing up of the MEMS industry, research on accelerometers is focused on miniaturization, integration, high reliability, and high resolution, and shares extensive application prospects in military and civil fields. Comparing with the traditional single cantilever beam structure or "cantilever-mass" structure, the proposed structure of "8-beams/mass" with its varistor completely symmetric distribution in micro-silicon piezoresistive triaxial accelerometer in this paper has a higher axial sensitivity and smaller cross-axis sensitivity. Adopting ANSYS, the process of structural analysis and the manufacturing flow of sensing unit are showed. In dynamic testing conditions, it can be concluded that the axial sensitivity of x, y, and z are Sx=48 μV/g, Sy= 54 μV/g and Sz= 217 μV/g respectively, and the nonlinearities are 0.4%, 0.6% and 0.4%.
