    Abstract: The displacement amount monitoring electrode structure includes a fixed electrode and a movable electrode each having a comb-teeth shape including a base part and electrode fingers extending from the base part in a direction parallel to a substrate. The fixed electrode and the movable electrode face each other such that the electrode fingers are meshed together. The fixed electrode is fixed to the substrate and the movable electrode can be displaced in the direction. The displacement amount monitoring electrode structure monitors a displacement amount of a detection mass to be driven at a target amplitude based on a change amount of a capacitance between the fixed electrode and the movable electrode. A change sensitivity of the change amount of the capacitance with respect to a displacement amount of the movable electrode, becomes larger after the displacement of the movable electrode reaches a target amount corresponding to the target amplitude.

    Abstract: This invention is a novel methodology for precision metrology, sensing, and actuation at the micro- and nano-scale. It is well-suited for micro- and nano-scale because it leverages off the electromechanical benefits of the scale. The invention makes use of electrical measurands of micro- or nano-scale devices to measure and characterize themselves, other devices, and whatever the devices subsequently interact with. By electronically measuring the change in capacitance, change in voltage, and/or resonance frequency of one or more test structures, a multitude of geometric, dynamic, and material properties may be extracted with a much higher accuracy and precision than conventional methods.
