  • Abstract
    A novel accelerometer fabricated by a combination of screen-printing and silicon micromachining is reported. This is the first device of its kind fabricated in this manner. Initial results indicate a sensitivity of 16 pCg-1 which compares very favourably with a sensitivity of 0.15 pCg-1 reported for thin-film devices
