Abstract:
1. A micromechanical structure comprising: a substrate having a seismic mass which is movable relative to the substrate; a fixed electrode which is connected to the substrate and has a first fixed electrode region at least partially covering the substrate and a second fixed electrode region connected in an electrically conductive manner to the first fixed electrode region and at least partially covering both the substrate and the first fixed electrode region; and a counterelectrode which is connected to the seismic mass and situated, at least partially, between the first and the second fixed electrode region, wherein when the micromechanical structure is viewed in a direction normal to a plane of the substrate that is at least partially covered by the first fixed electrode region, the second fixed electrode region at least partially covers the counterelectrode which at least partially covers the first fixed electrode region which at least partially covers the substrate.
