  • Abstract
    In this paper sensitivity of MEMS capacitive thermal sensors based on deflection of a bimetallic cantilever beam was investigated. Using design of experiment method, and applying a 25 factorial design the effect of factors in this sensor was calculated and main factors that affect on sensor´s sensitivity were identified. Analysis of variance for the main factors of design and their interactions were studied for their significance.
