Summary of the modifications made in the present study and the improvement in sensitivity compared to the 1G-MSS.

Modifications Improvement in Sensitivity
(1) Narrower sensing beams with thinner geometry ∼40%
(2) Thinner passivation layers on piezoresistors ∼40%
(3) Shallower piezoresistors with lower doping level ∼10%
(4) Elimination of negative regions in piezoresistors ∼30%
Total ∼280%
