the beam and cantilever structures 2,5. The deflection is picked up either by capacitive or piezoresistive measurement. The difference between a beam and cantilever is that the beam is fixed at both the ends whereas a cantilever is fixed at only one end. Some of the useful mathematical analysis is given as II.SIMULATION AND DESIGN
The MEMS cantilever with different design configuration and material selection is reported in different literatures.

The cantilever beam MEMS switch, as the name suggests, is an electric switch controlled by its mechanical displacement. It consists of two main parts a base and a cantilever beam Fig. 1 1. The cantilever beam is made or part of it, depending on the design of a conducting material, usually Aluminum. On the base, a conducting
The first step in the development of sensors is the design and optimisation of MEMS cantilever beam structure. It affects the device performance and hence factors like its geometry, dimensions, mode of operation, readout technique and materials must be determined. The MEMS cantilever beam can be operated in static or dynamic modes of operation
Micro cantilevers are an important component of smart sensors as they detect the stress on surfaces caused by various physical chemical or biological parameters. The proper design of the cantilever dimension helps to achieve optimum sensitivity of sensor. This work presents the design simulations of Si cantilever beam using Finite element method.
