Abstract: An MEMS having a layered structure includes a cavity disposed in the layered structure and fluidically coupled to an external environment of the layered structure through at least one opening in the layered structure. The MEMS includes an interaction structure movably disposed in a first MEMS plane and in the cavity along a plane direction and configured to interact with a fluid in the cavity, wherein movement of the interaction structure is causally related to movement of the fluid through the at least one opening. The MEMS further includes an active structure disposed in a second MEMS perpendicular to the plane direction, the active structure mechanically coupled to the insulation structure and configured such that an electrical signal at an electrical contact of the active structure is causally related to a deformation of the active structure, wherein the deformation of the active structure is causally related to movement of the fluid.
