Abstract:
A micromechanical sensor is described that includes: a substrate; a first functional layer that is situated on the substrate; a second functional layer that is situated on the first functional layer and that includes movable micromechanical structures; a cavity in the substrate that is situated below the movable mechanical structures; and a vertical trench structure that surrounds the movable micromechanical structures of the second functional layer and extends into the substrate down to the cavity.
Abstract:
A method for producing an integrated micromechanical fluid sensor component includes forming a first wafer with a first Bragg reflector and with a light-emitting device on a first substrate. The light-emitting device is configured to emit light rays in an emission direction from a surface of the light-emitting device facing away from the first Bragg reflector. The method further includes forming a second wafer with a second Bragg reflector and with a photodiode on a second substrate. The photodiode is arranged on a surface of the second Bragg reflector facing towards the second substrate. The method also includes bonding or gluing the first wafer to the second wafer such that there is formed a cavity into which a fluid is introduced and through which the light rays can pass. The method further includes separating the fluid sensor component from the first and the second wafer.
Abstract:
A polycrystalline material having low mechanical strain is provided. The polycrystalline material includes one or multiple layers of a first type and one or multiple layers of a second type. The layers of the first type and the layers of the second type each include at least one polycrystalline material component. The layers of the first type have a smaller average crystal grain size than the layers of the second type, a layer of the first type and a layer of the second type being situated, at least in part, one above the other in an alternating sequence, and it being the case for the transition between the layers of the first type and the layers of the second type to be abrupt or continuous.

Abstract:
A micromechanical structure, in particular a micromechanical electric field meter as a thunderstorm warning device, for detection of an electric field, comprising a substrate having a principal extension plane, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a drive assemblage for producing a relative motion of the second electrode with respect to the first electrode into an overlapping position, the first electrode and the second electrode being, in the overlapping position, disposed above one another in a projection direction extending perpendicularly to the principal extension plane of the substrate, wherein the second electrode has a defined potential for shielding the first electrode with respect to the electric field in the overlapping position.
