الوصف: The experimental evaluation of damping-improved parallel-plate geometries is reported in this paper. An improved damper geometry with air channels was developed to address contradictory design constraints: large sensing parallel-plate area is desirable for a significant readout capacitance as well as reduced damping coefficient. Damping coefficients were measured at different gaps in conventional parallel-plates MEMS and in parallel-plates with air channels. The inertial masses of the fabricated structures were pulled-in and released. From the return to rest position trajectory, the damping coefficients, at each point, were extracted. Results show a significant damping decrease in parallel-plates with air channels without visible reduction in the capacitance value.
