摘要: This letter presents a micromachined silicon Lorentz force magnetometer, which consists of flexural beam resonator coupled to current-carrying beams via microleverage mechanism. The is sensor, measures the magnetic field through resonant frequency shift induced by force, acts as an axial load. Previous frequency-modulated magnetometers suffer from low sensitivity, limited both fabrication restrictions and lack amplification In this letter, mechanism amplifies thereby enhancing sensitivity magnetometer factor 42. device has measured 6687 ppm/(mA $\cdot $ T), two orders magnitude larger than prior state-of-the-art. results agree with analytical model finite-element analysis. stability sensor quality ( ${Q}$ ) 540, can be increased improved vacuum packaging.
