Abstract:
A micromechanical component comprising:a frame layer, an oscillating body which, with the aid of a suspension means, is supported in an opening penetrating the frame layer for being pivoted about an axis of oscillation, at least one oscillating-body lateral surface, which extends substantially at right angles to the frame layer plane, being arranged in relation to at least one inner lateral surface of the opening in such a way that a capacitance formed therebetween is varied by an oscillation of the oscillating body in such a way that an oscillation of the oscillating body about the axis of oscillation can be generated by periodically varying a voltage applied between the frame layer and the oscillating body, and further comprising a supporting substrate for holding the frame layer, said supporting substrate being implemented such that, in comparison with the influence of the voltage applied between the frame layer and the oscillating body, said supporting substrate has a negligible physical influence on the generation of the oscillation of the oscillating body.
