    Abstract: The inertial sensor (1') comprises a stator (2) and a rotor (4) made of semiconductor material and electrostatically coupled together, and a microactuator (24) also made of semiconductor material, coupled to the rotor (4) and controlled so as to move the rotor (4) itself and thus compensate the position offset thereof.
    Rotor and stator are provided with interdigitated fingers and constitute capacitive elements. Manufacturing tolerances lead to a positional offset which results in a difference of the capacitances in the absence of acceleration. The actuator consists of interdigitated fingers which provide a force that rotates the rotor back to its nominal zero position. No interference exists between the capacitive elements of rotor and stator and the capacitive elements of the actuator.
