Abstract
A rotation rate sensor has a multi-layer structure including a monocrystalline silicon layer (10) which forms a carrier structure and a polysilicon layer (21), forming a second layer, and which includes a structural element (30) which acts as an oscillatory body. This structural element (30) is supported on the carrier structure (10) by a plurality of support strips (31), and is deflectable (2) perpendicularly to the major surface of the carrier structure (10). Capacitative or piezo-resistive detecting elements are formed from the second layer for detecting Coriolis force deflections (2), perpendicular to the major surface of said carrier (10) of the structural element (30).
