  • MICROMECHANICAL SENSOR STRUCTURE WITH DAMPING STRUCTURE
    Publication number: 20230331544
    Abstract: A micromechanical sensor structure. The micromechanical sensor structure including: a substrate; a mass which can be elastically deflected relative to the substrate; a measuring unit for detecting a deflection of the mass; and a damping structure for damping a deflection of the mass. The damping structure includes first and second damping combs which mesh together. The first damping comb is arranged on the mass and the second damping comb is arranged movably on a deflecting structure. When the mass is deflected in a first direction, the second damping comb is moved via the deflecting structure relative to the substrate in a second direction opposite the first direction.

  • MICROMECHANICAL INERTIAL SENSOR
    Publication number: 20210088548
    Abstract: A micromechanical inertial sensor that includes a substrate, and at least two identical z sensor cores, each including a movable asymmetrical seismic mass. The movable asymmetrical seismic masses are each twistable about a torsion axis. The two z sensor cores are situated on the substrate rotated by 180° relative to one another.
