This paper reports the evaluation results of the mechanical structures of MEMS (micro electro mechanical systems) sensor implemented in the integrated MEMS inertial sensor for a wide sensing range from below 0.1 G to 20 G (1 G = 9.8 m/s^2). To investigate the mechanical tolerance, a maximum target acceleration of 20G was applied to the sub-1G sensor which had the heaviest proof mass of all that sensors had. The structure stability of Ti/Au multi-layered structures was also examined by using Ti/Au micro cantilevers. The results showed that the stoppers effectively functioned to prevent the proof mass and the springs from self-destruction, and that the stability of Ti/Au structures increased with an increase in width. Those results suggest that the proposed stopper and spring structures could be promising to realize MEMS sensors.
