  • Micro-mechanical component
    Patent number: 10059583
    Abstract: A micromechanical component having a main extension plane is provided; the micromechanical component encloses a first cavern and a second cavern, and a first pressure prevails in the first cavern while a second pressure prevails in the second cavern, and a first layer of the micromechanical component, which extends essentially parallel to the main extension plane, projects into a second layer of the micromechanical component, which extends essentially parallel to the main extension plane, between the first cavern and the second cavern, essentially in a perpendicular direction to the main extension plane.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2018
    Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH
    Inventors: Achim Breitling, Christof Schwenk, Hartmut Kueppers, Nicole Schittenhelm, Volker Schmitz
  • Getter device for a micromechanical component
    Patent number: 10035698
    Abstract: A getter device for a micromechanical component, having a metallic getter structure that is situated in a cavity of the micromechanical component. The getter structure is heatable using a defined electric current. It is possible to evaporate the material of the getter structure in a defined manner.
