    Abstract: A sensor, in particular thermal sensor, having a silicon element and a largely self-supporting membrane layer equipped with at least one sensor element, is proposed. The membrane layer is furthermore spaced away from the silicon element by way of at least one contact column and is at least largely supported thereby. The contact column moreover makes electrical contact to the sensor element. Also proposed is a method for manufacturing a largely self-supporting membrane, a polymer layer first being deposited on a base element, patterned, and equipped with at least one cutout. The cutout is subsequently filled with a filler material, and a membrane layer is applied onto the polymer layer. Lastly, the polymer layer is removed again. The proposed method for manufacturing a largely self-supporting membrane layer is suitable in particular for constructing a sensor, in particular a thermal sensor or a thermal sensor array.

    Abstract: A filter for electric signals has a substrate, a vibrating body capable of vibrating with at least two antipodes deflected in phase opposition relative to the substrate and has electrodes connected to a signal input and a signal output for electric excitation and for detection of the vibration of the vibrating body. The electrodes for detecting the vibration, each assigned to antipodes deflected in phase opposition, are connected to two separate terminals of the signal output.

    Abstract: A gyroscope system including multiple rotating or oscillating disks filters out disturbance acceleration inputs such as vibrations or jarring while detecting and measuring external angular velocity. The gyroscope disks are decoupled from a substrate to decrease the impact of external vibrations on the gyroscope operation. The gyroscope disks are rotated in opposite directions or oscillated out of phase to decrease the impact of disturbance vibrations and jarring while more accurately measuring external angular velocities applied to the system.

    Abstract: A microtool for manipulating components is proposed. A component is held with the microtool by at least one gripper arm having a gripping surface, the gripper being movable by an actuator structure. Also provided is a device for releasing the held component from the gripping surface, whereby an acceleration is induced in the gripper arm for at least a time, and the force of inertia resulting from the inertial mass of the held component and the exerted acceleration will be greater than any force of adhesion acting between the held component and the gripping surface. A process is also proposed for producing a microtool or a microtool part, in particular a microgripper by micropatterning. For this purpose, the microtool or the microtool part to be manufactured is patterned out of a layered structure having a base layer, an intermediate layer, and a structuring layer, which is patterned using a masking layer in conformance with the geometry of the microtool to be manufactured; the microtool or the microtool part is patterned out of the structuring layer. Subsequently, the intermediate layer is then undercut (e.g., etched from underneath) in a second etching process.
