Patent number: 11860184Abstract: A micromechanical structure including a substrate, a moveable seismic mass, a detection structure, and a main spring. The seismic mass is connected to the substrate using the main spring. A first direction and a second direction perpendicular thereto define a main extension plane of the substrate. The detection structure detects a deflection of the seismic mass and includes first electrodes mounted at the seismic mass and second electrodes mounted at the substrate. The first electrodes and second electrodes have a two-dimensional extension in the first and second directions. The micromechanical structure has a graduated stop structure including a first spring stop, a second spring stop, and a fixed stop.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Cristian Nagel, Johannes Classen, Lars Tebje, Rolf Scheben, Rudy Eid

Patent number: 11697583Abstract: A micromechanical device including a substrate, a movable mass, and a stop spring structure, which includes a stop. The substrate includes a substrate surface in parallel to a main extension plane and the movable mass is situated movably above the substrate surface in relation to the substrate. The stop spring structure is connected to the movable mass. The stop is designed to strike against the substrate surface in the event of a deflection of the movable mass in a z direction, perpendicular to the main extension plane. The stop spring structure, at the location of the stop, includes a first spring constant, a second spring constant, in parallel to the main extension plane, and a third spring constant, in parallel to the main extension plane and perpendicular to the x direction. The first spring constant is greater than the second spring constant and/or is greater than the third spring constant.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Cristian Nagel, Johannes Classen, Rolf Scheben, Rudy Eid
