A single Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensor chip is provided, for measuring multiple parameters, referred to as multiple degrees of freedom (DOF). The sensor chip comprises a central MEMS wafer bonded to a top cap wafer and a bottom cap wafer, all three wafer being electrically conductive. The sensor comprises at least two distinct sensors, each patterned in the electrically conductive MEMS wafer and in at least one of the top and bottom cap wafer. Insulated conducting pathways extend from electrical connections on the top or bottom cap wafers, through at least one of the electrically conductive top cap and bottom cap wafers, and through the electrically conductive MEMS wafer, to the sensors, for conducting electrical signals between the sensors and the electrical connections. The two or more distinct sensors are enclosed by the top and bottom cap wafers and by the outer frame of MEMS wafer. |
