Patent ID: 8312769

Claim:
An integrated microelectromechanical structure, comprising: a substrate; first elastic anchorage elements fixed to the substrate; a driving mass anchored to the substrate via the first elastic anchorage elements, and configured to move in a plane with a driving movement, the driving mass having a first opening; first elastic supporting elements coupled to the driving mass in the first opening, the first elastic supporting elements having longitudinal extensions; and a first sensing mass, suspended inside the first opening of the driving mass, and coupled to said driving mass via the first elastic supporting elements, the first sensing mass being fixed with respect to said driving mass in said driving movement and being configured to perform a detection movement of rotation out of said plane, in response to a rotation of the structure at a first angular velocity; wherein said first elastic supporting elements are coupled to said first sensing mass at an end portion of the first sensing mass, a first axis of rotation of said detection movement extends through the end portion of the first sensing mass and through the longitudinal extensions the first elastic supporting elements.
