Mikromechanisches Bauelement

摘要

A micromechanical component, in particular an acceleration sensor, includes a substrate, at least one spring element and at least one seismic mass. The spring element is joined at a first end to the substrate and at a second end to the mass, and the rigidity of the spring element is set such that a movement of the mass relative to the substrate can be caused by an acceleration parallel to a surface of the substrate. For the spring element, provision is made for a spring limit stop which limits a deformation of the spring element in response to an acceleration parallel to the surface of the substrate.
