  • Micromechanical component and suitable method for its manufacture
    Patent number: 7262071
    Abstract: A micromechanical component having a substrate conductive in at least some regions; an elastically deflectable diaphragm, which is conductive in at least some regions, arches over a front side of the substrate, and is electrically insulated from the substrate, the diaphragm having an inner region (I; I?) and an edge region (RB; RB?); and a hollow space (H), which is provided between the substrate (1) and the diaphragm (M); the inner region (I; I?) having a cross-section that is modified in comparison with the edge region (RB; RB?), which means that the bending of the inner region (I; I?) is less than that in the case of an identical cross-section.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 28, 2007
