Abstract: The invention relates to a method for balancing a component (1), in particular a rotor of an electric machine, using pins (11, 11?) which are introduced into prefabricated openings (5, 7, 9) in the component (1). The component (1) is balanced in that pins (11, 11?) of different lengths, cross-sectional areas, and cross-sectional shapes are fixed in corresponding openings (7, 9) in the component (1). Furthermore, the pins (11, 11?) can be assembled from multiple elements (13, 13?), and the method can be used to increase the balancing quality incrementally in one or more stages. The imbalance of the component (1) can be considerably reduced using said method, and simultaneously the weight, space requirements, and inertia of the component (1) can be reduced. In addition, the method can be automated.

Abstract: A MEMS microphone is formed on a single substrate that also includes microelectronic circuitry. High-temperature tolerance metals are used to form contacts in a metallization step before performing deep reactive ion etching and back patterning steps to form a MEMS microphone. High-temperature tolerant metals such as titanium, tungsten, chromium, etc. can be used for the contacts. Another approach uses laser annealing in place of deep reactive ion etching so that high-temperature tolerant metals do not need to be used in earlier metallization steps. Different orderings for device, circuit, and metallization series of steps are presented.
