Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A micromechanical spring structure, including a spring beam and a rigid micromechanical structure, the spring beam including a first end and an opposing second end along a main extension direction. The spring beam includes a fork having two support arms on at least one of the two ends, which is anchored to the rigid micromechanical structure, the two support arms being anchored to a surface of the rigid micromechanical structure, which extends perpendicular to the main extension direction of the spring beam.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 5 . (canceled) 6 . A micromechanical spring structure, comprising: a spring beam; and a rigid micromechanical structure; wherein the spring beam includes a first end and an opposing second end along a main extension direction, wherein the spring beam includes a fork having two support arms on at least one of the two ends, which is anchored to the rigid micromechanical structure, and wherein the two support arms are anchored to a surface of the rigid micromechanical structure, which extends perpendicular to the main extension direction of the spring beam. 7 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 6 , wherein the rigid micromechanical structure includes a substrate anchor. 8 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 6 , wherein the rigid micromechanical structure includes a movable structure. 9 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 6 , wherein the fork forms a rectangular frame. 10 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 6 , wherein the fork forms a semicircular frame or an elliptical frame. 11 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 7 , wherein the fork forms a semicircular frame or an elliptical frame. 12 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 8 , wherein the fork forms a semicircular frame or an elliptical frame. 13 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 7 , wherein the fork forms a rectangular frame. 14 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 8 , wherein the fork forms a rectangular frame. 15 . The micromechanical spring structure of claim 6 , wherein the rigid micromechanical structure includes a movable structure, which includes a seismic mass.
