H. and Khir, M. H. Md. and Dennis, J. O.}, abstract = {A novel design of micro paddle bridge resonant magnetic field sensor based on electrostatic actuation and capacitive detection technique is characterized and simulated using CoventorWare. The sensor consists of Aluminum plus shape paddle bridge resonator with two proof mass arms, driving electrodes, sensing electrode and silicon substrate. Working in a resonant condition, the sensor's vibration amplitude is converted into the sensing capacitance change, which reflects the outside magnetic flux-density. Based on the simulation, the key structure parameters are optimized and the resonant frequency is estimated. The results of the device are in accordance with the theoretical values of the designed model. The results indicate its sensitivity 0.252 pA/uT, when operating at 10 of critical damping. The sensitivity and resolution can be enhanced through vacuum packaging. {\^A}{\copyright} 2011 IEEE.}, keywords = {Bridge resonators; Capacitance change; Capacitive detection; CMOS technology; CoventorWare; Critical damping; Designed models; Electrostatic actuation; Lorentz; Micro paddle bridge resonator; Novel design; Proof mass; Resonant condition; Resonant magnetic field sensors; Sensing electrode; Silicon substrates; Structure parameter; Theoretical values; Vacuum packaging; Vibration amplitude, CMOS integrated circuits; Electrostatic actuators; Electrostatics; Lorentz force; Magnetic field measurement; Magnetic fields; Magnetic flux; Magnetic sensors; Natural frequencies; Optimization; Photonics, Resonators}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79960016367&doi=10.1109\%2fSIECPC.2011.5876897&partnerID=40&md5=fed7d47483870af25657d4d3cd04e2ca} }
