Abstract

Silicon accelerometers used in the automotive industry should be improved in resolution and accuracy. Exploiting quantum effects in diamond to improve sensing accuracy is a popular technique for nanoscale sensing applications. This thesis will present a new design concept for an accelerometer using these quantum effects for sensing on a macroscopic scale. This sensor can sense these forces with a resolution of 6g and a range of 120g. In measurement time it is slower than current sensors, but our sensor can still serve as a prototype to be improved in the future.
