Abstract

A micro-electromechanical semiconductor component is provided with a semiconductor substrate, a reversibly deformable bending element made of semiconductor material, and at least one transistor that is sensitive to mechanical stresses. The transistor is designed as an integrated component in the bending element.

Claims (12)

1. A micro-electromechanical semiconductor component comprising:

a semiconductor substrate;

a reversibly deformable bending element made of semiconductor material; and

at least one transistor being sensitive to mechanical stresses;

wherein the transistor is designed as an integrated component in the bending element,

wherein the transistor is arranged in an implanted active region well which is made of a semiconductor material of a first conducting type and is formed in the bending element,

wherein a mutually spaced, implanted drain region and a mutually spaced, implanted source region are made of a semiconductor material of a second conducting type are formed in the active region well, a channel region extending between the drain region and the source region,

wherein implanted feed lines made of a semiconductor material of the second conducting type leading from outside of the bending element to the drain region and the source region,

wherein an upper face of the active region well is covered by a gate oxide,

wherein a gate electrode made of polysilicon is located on the gate oxide in the area of the channel region, a feed line likewise made of polysilicon leading from outside of the bending element to the gate electrode, and

wherein, outside of the bending element, the feed lines are provided with metal contacts of metal lines.

2. The micro-electromechanical semiconductor component according to claim 1 , wherein the first conductive type is an n-conductive type and the second conductive type is a p-conductive type.
