In this paper a MEMS torsional mode acceleration switch is proposed for the detection of moderately low levels of acceleration The torsional mode structure provides for a large displacement to close a switch with a lower acceleration threshold A nano gap vertical TiN contact was introduced to implement a stable switch contact We demonstrate activation of the acceleration switch by a 15g acceleration input with a contact time that is sufficient to trigger electric circuitry The proposed acceleration switch can be used as a wake up sensor for zero power Internet of Things nodes
