摘要:
The proposal is for an acceleration sensor consisting of an upper plate (1), a central plate (2) and a lower plate (3). The sensor has a movable electrode (4) built out from the central plate (2). The assembly of the plates is simplified by the use of a closed dielectric layer (10) on the upper plate (1) and the lower plate (3) since the plates do not have to be mutually adjusted. The use of stops (17) prevents the jamming of the seismic mass (33) on the upper (1) or lower plate (3). The use of local oxidation (18) reduces the stray capacitance.

The invention relates to a micromechanic acceleration sensor, comprising a substrate (1), an elastic membrane (5), which extends in parallel to the substrate plane, is partially connected to the substrate and comprises a surface region, which can be deflected perpendicular to the substrate plane. The invention further comprises a seismic mass (6), wherein the center of gravity thereof is outside of the plane of the elastic membrane (5). The seismic mass (6) extends at a distance across substrate regions, which are located outside of the region of the elastic membrane (5) and comprise an arrangement made of a plurality of electrodes (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d), which form a capacitor with opposing regions of the seismic mass (6) in a circuit. In the central region, the seismic mass (6) is fastened in the surface region of the elastic membrane (5), which can be deflected perpendicular to the substrate plane, to the elastic membrane (5).

The present invention relates to an acceleration sensor with a seismic mass (1) having a first and a second wing (2, 3), which can be rotated about at least one torsion web (4), and with a base substrate (13), wherein the wings (2, 3) are formed in such a manner that, on account of their mass distributions, different torques are exerted on the at least one torsion web (4). The seismic mass (1) and the base substrate are formed in such a manner that damping torques of the same magnitude for torsion and for torsion of the same magnitude in the opposite direction act on the at least one torsion web (4). Therefore, torques of the same magnitude for accelerations of the same magnitude in opposite directions act on the acceleration sensor.

The invention relates to an acceleration sensor with an oscillating structure that is moveably suspended from a substrate and can be deflected under the effect of acceleration. An oscillating level of the oscillating structure is situated essentially in parallel in relation to a substrate level. The acceleration sensor also comprises evaluation means for detecting a deflection of the oscillating structure, whereby said deflection is caused by acceleration. A deflection movement of the oscillating structure (12) is situated in an essentially vertical manner in relation to the oscillating level (x-, y-level) of the oscillating structure (12). Stopper means (36) limit said movement and can be embodied as a bridge-shaped structure between finger-shaped, moveable electrodes. The bridge-shaped structure supports a fixed, finger-shaped electrode from below. The stopper means can also engage with an annular step of a lateral stopper.
