  • Micromechanical component and method for producing a micromechanical component
    Patent number: 10989913
    Abstract: A micromechanical component having a mounting support, at least one coil winding held by at least one coil brace and comprising conductor tracks made from at least one electrically conductive material, at least one first subsection of the at least one coil winding being anchored on the associated coil brace, and an adjustable part, the at least one coil brace and the adjustable part being connected to each other and via at least one spring element to the mounting support in such a way that the adjustable part is adjustable about at least one axis of rotation in relation to the mounting support, and, while the at least one first subsection of the at least one coil winding is anchored on the associated coil brace, at least one second subsection of the same coil winding spans at least one gap formed in the associated coil brace as a cantilever subsection.

  • ESD protection device for a MEMS element
    Patent number: 10916536
    Abstract: An ESD protective device for a MEMS element is described as having at least one first line; at least one n-region connected to the first line; at least one insulating region connected to the n-region; at least one p-region connected to the insulating region; at least one second line connected to the p-region; the n-region, the insulating region, and the p-region being situated on a substrate.

  • Micromirror device having a mechanical stop
    Patent number: 10795149
    Abstract: A micromirror device having a cap, a function layer, and a window layer, which are disposed on top of one another and parallel to a main extension plane, the function layer being situated between the cap and the window layer, and a micromirror is patterned out of the function layer. The micromirror device has a stop, which is designed to restrict a deflection of the micromirror in a direction perpendicular to the main extension plane.
