Abstract: A yaw rate sensor having a substrate which has a main plane of extension, and a Coriolis element is proposed. The Coriolis element is excitable to a vibration along a third direction which is perpendicular to the main plane of extension. A Coriolis deflection of the Coriolis element along a first direction which is parallel to the main plane of extension may be detected using a detection arrangement. The detection arrangement includes a Coriolis electrode which is connected to the Coriolis element, and a corresponding counterelectrode. Both the Coriolis electrode and the counterelectrode may be excited to a vibration along the third direction.

Abstract: A capacitive pressure sensor made up of two silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers lying opposite of each other and joined to each other in a vacuum-tight manner, a recess being formed between the two wafers. The first wafer exclusively supports the evaluation circuits required for measuring the applied pressure and a capacitive electrode, and the second wafer has a recess formed by surface micromechanics processes, in which the counter electrode to the capacitive electrode of the first wafer is situated. The second wafer at the same time forms a cover for the first wafer.
