    Abstract: A micromechanical system including a sensitive element, the system including a first area in which the sensitive element is situated, and a second area which at least partially surrounds the first area. Furthermore, the system includes a holding element having an elastic property, which joins the first area to the second area, and a joining material, with the aid of which the second area may be joined to a substrate. A spacing area is provided between the first area and the second area. The joining material extends into the spacing area so that a possible movement of the first area caused by the elastic property of the holding element is limited.

    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.

    Abstract: A micromechanical sensor device and manufacturing method. The micromechanical sensor device is provided with a cap substrate, which has a first front side and a first back side, and which has a through-opening as a media entry region; and with a sensor substrate, which has a second front side and a second back side, and which has, on the second front side, a sensor region that is embedded in an island-like region suspended on the remaining sensor substrate. The island-like region is mechanically decoupled from the remaining sensor substrate by a lateral stress-relief trench and by a cavity situated in the sensor substrate, underneath the island-like region. The first back side is bonded to the second front side so that the through opening is situated above the sensor region. The sensor region is covered by a gel, which fills the through-opening and the stress-relief trench at least partially.
