Abstract:
A micromirror device including a drive unit, which includes a movable drive element, which is situated in a first plane, and a guiding device, and a mirror, which is elastically coupled to the drive element and is situated in the idle position in a second plane, which is in parallel to the first plane, the guiding device being designed to guide a movement of the drive element on a straight line situated in the first plane. Furthermore, a corresponding projection device is described.
Abstract:
A micromechanical sensor includes a substrate having a cavity; a flexible diaphragm spanning the cavity; and a lever element that spans the diaphragm and has a first and second end section on opposite sides of a center section. A first joint element is between the first end section and the substrate and a second joint element is between the center section and the diaphragm. The lever element can be pivoted due to a deflection of the diaphragm. Two capacitive sensors are provided, each having two electrodes, one electrode of each sensor being mounted at one of the end sections of the lever element, and the other being mounted on the substrate. The electrodes are disposed so that distances between the electrodes of different sensors are influenced oppositely when the lever element is pivoted. Also, an actuator is provided for applying an actuating force between the lever element and the substrate.

A micromechanical component includes: a hermetically sealed housing; a first functional element that is situated inside the housing; a first structured electrically conductive layer that contacts the first functional element and that is situated inside the housing; and a second structured electrically conductive layer, the first conductive layer being electrically contacted via the second conductive layer, and the second conductive layer being electrically contacted laterally through the housing via a hermetic through-contacting in the second conductive layer.
Abstract:
A micromechanical sensor includes a substrate having a cavity; a flexible diaphragm that spans the cavity; and a lever element that spans the diaphragm and has a first and a second end section, the end sections lying on opposite sides of a center section. A first joint element is fitted between the first end section and the substrate and a second joint element is fitted between the center section and the diaphragm, so that the lever element is able to be pivoted due to a deflection of the diaphragm. In addition, two capacitive sensors are provided, each having two electrodes, one electrode of each sensor being mounted at one of the end sections of the lever element, and the other being mounted on the substrate. The electrodes of the sensors are disposed in such a way that distances between the electrodes of different sensors are influenced oppositely when the lever element is pivoted. Moreover, the sensor includes an actuator for applying an actuating force between the lever element and the substrate.
