1. Comb capacitive accelerometer comprising a substrate (5), a first electrode free to move (2) with respect to the said substrate (5) provided with a set of mobile fingers (7), a first electrode (4A, 4B) fixed with respect to the said substrate (5) and provided with a set of fixed fingers (8A, 8B), each of the mobile fingers (7) being arranged between two contiguous fixed fingers (8A, 8B) so as to form a first microstructure with interdigitised combs (20), accelerometer in which at least one second mobile electrode (40) associated with at least one second fixed electrode (42) to form at least one second microstructure with interdigitised combs (22) superposed on the first microstructure with interdigitised combs (20), characterised in that the said second mobile electrode (40) and the said second fixed electrode (42) are etched in the same substrate (5) as the said first mobile electrode (2) and the said first fixed electrode (4).
