在靜電式振動能源採集的文獻中，大多數的能源採集器之自然頻率都在100 ~ 1000 Hz區間，少數高達2000 Hz，因此本論文提出一低頻微型化靜電式振動能源採集器，由一頻率為105 Hz之靜電式能源採集器作為基礎並降低其共振頻率至1 ~ 2 Hz區間並限制此能源採集器之體積於1 cm × 1 cm × 0.25 cm以內。
此能源採集器之設計提升了可使用的頻率區間且尺寸為8 mm × 8 mm × 1.554 mm符合預期之微型化目標。當外界頻率為1.7467 Hz，外界振動振福為1000 μm時，每次循環可轉換0.176 μJ之能量及輸出功率為0.31 μW。

In the development of electrostatic energy harvester, the natural frequency is in the range of 100 Hz ~ kHz. This thesis designs a micro low-frequency vibration electrostatic energy harvester with natural frequency in the range of 1 ~ 2 Hz. The electrostatic vibration energy harvester is of size 8 mm × 8 mm × 1.554 mm, mass 1.8676 × 10-4 kg, and the natural frequency ωn=1.7467 Hz. When operating at this frequency ωn with external vibration amplitude 1000 μm and the frequency 4ωn with external vibration amplitude 225 μm, the electrostatic vibration energy harvester can produce 0.31 μW and 0.859 μW, respectively.
