Characterization and modeling of 3-D vibration modes of a micromachined u-shaped cantilever

The present work explores the potential applicability of the Lorentz force actuation of a micromachined U-shaped cantilever device for 3-D vector magnetic field measurements in a broad range of frequencies. The structures simulated are made entirely from aluminum and designed using CMOS fabrication...
