A new sensor of measuring magnetic field using a U-shaped beam driven by Lorentz force is presented.The magnetic field is obtained by measuring the induced electromotive voltage of the coil of the mechanical structure.The theoretical model and the response of the sensor are analyzed using the vibration theory.The resonance frequencies and modes of the resonators are simulated by the general purpose finite element program ANSYS.These micro-electro-mechanical systems(MEMS) devices are realized through a standard CMOS process coupled with a post-processing phase.A laser Doppler vibrometer system is implemented to measure the vibration amplitudes and the frequency of the fabricated structure.The relationship between the induced voltages of the sensor and the external magnetic field and the current is tested.And the sensor exhibits a resolution of 14mV/mT.A good agreement is observed between the predicted and observed behavior of the magnetic field sensor.The sensor is of simple structure and easy fabrication.It can be used for magnetic field of mT level.
