  • Method of producing micromechanical structures
    Patent number: 6839962
    Abstract: A micromechanical structure is described which is disposed on a base body and requires protection from environmental influences by a covering body. Furthermore, electrical contacts are necessary for establishing contacts for the micromechanical structure. By skillfully carrying out a sawing-into operation and a sawing-through operation, it is possible to expose the electrical contact.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 11, 2005
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Robert Aigner, Florian Plötz, Sven Michaelis, Michael Brauer
  • Microrelay
    Patent number: 6734770
    Abstract: A microrelay has a switching part which is pivotably suspended on a substrate and can be moved into two alternative switching states like a rocker, by electrostatic attraction through the use of suitably attached electrodes. The switching function is brought about by electrodes which are fastened to the substrate above the rocker being shorted by metallizations or contact electrodes on an upper side of the switching part.
