Micromechanical element with reduced stress in the membrane structure

The component has a rigid cover layer (16) arranged over a membrane (1) and at a distance to the membrane. The cover layer has an access opening (4) for the membrane, so that the membrane is subjected with pressure over the access opening and is flexibly movable perpendicular to layer-plane. A measu...

Zusammenfassung:The component has a rigid cover layer (16) arranged over a membrane (1) and at a distance to the membrane. The cover layer has an access opening (4) for the membrane, so that the membrane is subjected with pressure over the access opening and is flexibly movable perpendicular to layer-plane. A measuring electrode (3) is formed as a component of an evaluation circuit for detecting the membrane displacement. A compensation circuit is provided with the measuring electrode and an auxiliary electrode for compensating mechanical stresses in the membrane.
