Abstract
A rotation rate sensor including a substrate having a principal plane of extension, and a structure movable with respect to the substrate; the structure being excitable from a neutral position into an oscillation having a movement component substantially parallel to a driving direction, which is substantially parallel to the principal plane of extension. To induce the oscillation, the rotation rate sensor includes a comb electrode moved along with the structure and a comb electrode fixed in position relative to the substrate. The excitation is produced by applying a voltage to the moving comb electrode and/or to the stationary comb electrode. Due to a rotation rate of the rotation rate sensor about an axis running substantially perpendicularly to the driving direction and substantially perpendicularly to the detection direction, a force applied to the structure with a force component along a detection direction substantially perpendicular to the driving direction is detectable.
