Patent ID: 8063458

Claim:
A micromechanical component, comprising: a substrate; at least one electrical circuit arrangement in or on said substrate; and a first stack applied on said substrate, wherein said first stack includes a multilayer construction comprising an alternate sequence of patterned metal layers and interlayers, and having at least two of said metal layers; wherein one of said metal layers of said multilayer construction other than a bottommost metal layer and an uppermost metal layer is lengthened beyond said first stack at one side thereof and comprises a freely vibratable, electrically conductive membrane; and wherein said electrically conductive membrane is applied on a dielectric interlayer of said interlayers, and wherein the membrane is formed in reed-type fashion and has a mass loading at a free end opposite to the first stack, the mass loading comprising a plurality of layers, including at least two metal layers, and the plurality of layers being positioned above the membrane, below the membrane, or both above and below the membrane.
