    Abstract: Methods of measuring displacement of a movable mass in a microelectro- mechanical system (MEMS) include driving the mass against two displacement-stopping surfaces and measuring corresponding differential capacitances of sensing capacitors such as combs. A MEMS device having displacement-stopping surfaces is described. Such a MEMS device can be used in a method of measuring properties of an atomic force microscope (AFM) having a cantilever and a deflection sensor, or in a temperature sensor having a displacement-sensing unit for sensing a movable mass permitted to vibrate along a displacement axis. A motion-measuring device can include pairs of accelerometers and gyroscopes driven 90° out of phase.
