Patent ID: 7682861

Claim:
A method, comprising: dicing a micromechanical motion sensor component out of a wafer stack obtained by joining at least two wafers to each other, wherein the micromechanical motion sensor component is diced such, that in a wafer surface plane, an area of the micromechanical motion sensor component is smaller than an area of the motion sensor component having been dice cut and turned by 90°, and that in a direction of a joint, a height of the motion sensor component having been turned by 90° is smaller than a thickness of the wafer stack formed by the joining of the at least two wafers; etching micromechanical motion sensor structures on one wafer; joining the at least two wafers together to form the wafer stack; dicing, in the wafer plane, the wafer stack into narrow and long motion sensor components; turning the motion sensor components by 90 degrees onto one side; and metallizing connection areas onto a dice cut side of the motion sensor components.
