    Abstract: A production method for a MEMS component includes providing a layer arrangement on a carrier substrate, where the layer arrangement includes a first and second layer structure. A sacrificial material is arranged in an intermediate region between the first and second layer structures, an etch stop structure extending between the first and second layer structures subdivides the intermediate region into an exposure region and an edge region laterally adjoining the exposure region, and at least one of the first layer structure or the second layer structure has access openings to the exposure region. The method further includes removing the sacrificial material from the exposure region through the access openings using an etching process to expose the exposure region. The etch stop structure provides a lateral delimitation for the etching process, and the sacrificial material present in the edge region provides a mechanical connection between the first and second layer structures.

    Abstract: A MEMS pump includes a basis structure, a membrane structure opposing the basis structure and being deflectable parallel to a surface normal of the basis structure and includes a pump chamber between the basis structure and the membrane structure wherein a volume of the pump chamber is based on a position of the membrane structure with respect to the basis structure. The MEMS pump includes a passage for letting a fluid pass into the pump chamber or exit the pump chamber, wherein the passage is arranged in-plane with respect to the pump chamber. The MEMS pump includes a valve structure coupled to the passage for connecting, in a first state, the passage to a first outer volume and for connecting, in a second state, the passage to a second outer volume.

    Abstract: A method for producing an infrared emitter arrangement is provided. The method includes providing a carrier. The carrier includes at least one infrared emitter structure at a first side of the carrier and at least one cutout at a second side of the carrier, said second side being situated opposite the first side of the carrier, wherein the at least one cutout extends from the second side of the carrier in the direction of the at least one infrared emitter structure. The method further includes securing an infrared filter layer structure at the second side of the carrier in such a way that the at least one cutout separates the at least one infrared emitter structure from the infrared filter layer structure.
