    摘要: A MEMS component includes a semiconductor substrate stack having a first semiconductor substrate and a second semiconductor substrate, wherein the semiconductor substrate stack has a cavity formed within the first and second semiconductor substrates, and wherein at least the first or the second semiconductor substrate has an access opening for gas exchange between the cavity and an environment. A radiation source is arranged at the first semiconductor substrate, and a radiation detector is arranged at the second semiconductor substrate. Two mutually spaced apart reflection elements are arranged in a beam path between the radiation source and the radiation detector, wherein one reflection element is partly transmissive to the emitted radiation from the cavity in the direction of the radiation detector, and wherein an interspace between the two mutually spaced apart reflection elements has a length that is at least ten times the wavelength of the emitted radiation.
