Abstract: MEMS are used in acceleration, flow, pressure and force sensing applications on the micro and macro levels. The fundamental part of every sensor is the transducer, which converts the measured quantity of interest into an interpretable output signal. The most prominent transducer is the piezoresistive cantilever, which translates any signal into an electrical signal. This paper presents the design and fabrication of a U-shaped cantilever with enhanced sensitivity and stiffness, which yields better results than other cantilevers. The simulation results of the cantilevers are designed using COMSOL software. MEMS technology becomes more affordable, better, and easier to fabricate in increasing quantities. Each layer of the fabrication process is quite complex, and the final manufactured product will be tested and used for high-end applications.
