This paper systematically conducts theoretical analysis, structural improvement design, finite element simulation verification, and mathematical compensation model research focusing on the nonlinear characteristics of capacitive comb-drive accelerometers. First, the structural design and fabrication process of the accelerometer are presented. Then, the generation mechanism of nonlinear errors is theoretically analyzed from three dimensions: structural design, fabrication error, and testing. Research results show that: the mass bias displacement, unilateral deformation of the substrate, and installation errors significantly increase the sensitivity asymmetry of the accelerometer, further leading to the deterioration of nonlinearity. This paper proposes a single-anchor layout design with parallel arrangement in the sensing direction. Finite element simulation confirms that the nonlinearity of the improved accelerometer caused by mass bias displacement is reduced by 96.36 %; under the same substrate bending amount, the nonlinearity of the improved accelerometer is reduced by 34.72 %. To address the installation error issue, a corresponding mathematical compensation model is constructed. Within the operating range of comb finger gap variation of ±7 %, the nonlinearity of the compensated open-loop accelerometer is reduced by 67.11 %, which can be stably controlled below 900 ppm.
