Abstract: An acceleration sensor is described that has a base substrate, a first electrode structure situated in stationary fashion relative to the base substrate, a sensor element having a first electrode area, and a spring device having at least one spring element. Via the spring element, the sensor element is coupled to the base substrate so that the sensor element is deflected relative to the base substrate as the result of an acceleration acting on the sensor element, thus changing the distance between the first electrode structure and the first electrode area. The sensor element and the first electrode structure are situated at least partially one over the other and are formed from a common functional layer.

Abstract: A sensor having a substrate, a cap and a seismic mass is proposed, the substrate having a main extension plane, the seismic mass being deflectable perpendicular to the main extension plane, a first stop of the cap covering a first area of the seismic mass perpendicular to the main extension plane in a first coverage region and a second stop of the cap covering a second area of the seismic mass perpendicular to the main extension plane in a second coverage region, and furthermore the first and second coverage regions parallel to the main extension plane being essentially equal in size. The distances of the coverage regions from a pivot axis of the mass designed as a rocker are equal so that the torques caused by electronic forces offset one another.

Abstract: A component has at least one MEMS element and at least one cap made of a semiconductor material. The cap, in addition to its mechanical function as a terminus of a cavity and protection of the micromechanical structure, is provided with an electrical functionality. The micromechanical structure of the MEMS element of the component is situated in a cavity between a carrier and the cap, and includes at least one structural element which is deflectable out of the component plane within the cavity. The cap includes at least one section extending over the entire thickness of the cap, which is electrically insulated from the adjoining semiconductor material in such a way that it may be electrically contacted independently from the remaining sections of the cap.

Abstract: A sensor structure includes a substrate having a main extension plane, a first seismic mass and a second seismic mass, the first and the second seismic masses being deflectable relative to the substrate along a direction of deflection essentially perpendicular to the main extension plane. The first and second seismic masses are coupled together via a rigid coupling rocker pivotable around a rocker axis parallel to the main extension plane. The first seismic mass is suspended from the substrate with the aid of a first suspension spring, and an essentially rigid first coupling bar is situated between the first suspension spring and the first seismic mass.
