In this paper, we report a MEMS accelerometer based on double-ended-tuning fork resonators. The scale factor of our sensor is 1153.3 Hz/g and the bias stability of the oscillator is 58 ppb (parts per billion) for an averaging time of 1 s. The static test showed that the resolution of our sensor was 13.8 μg. The dynamic performance was demonstrated by single-frequency and hybrid-frequency vibration tests, and the results showed that our device is suitable for detecting low-frequency vibration (0.5–5 Hz). The cross-axis sensitivity is 1.33%. Compared with a standard charge accelerometer, our device showed its superiority in mixed acceleration measurement, which makes it a potentially attractive option for geophone or seismometer applications. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
