Abstract
The present invention relates to an acceleration sensor including an oscillating structure which is movably suspended on a substrate and deflectable in response to the action of an acceleration, a plane of oscillation of the oscillating structure being essentially parallel to a substrate plane, and further including evaluation arrangements for measuring a deflection of the oscillating structure due to acceleration. In this context, provision is made for stop arrangements which limit a deflection movement of the oscillating structure in a direction essentially perpendicular to the plane of oscillation (x-, y-plane) of the oscillating structure.
