Abstract
An electromechanical component consists of a polymeric body comprising a mechanically active part with a spring and a frame, and of a metal layer which encompasses the spring substantially completely so as to mechanically stabilize the same. The electromechanical component can be an acceleration sensor, a rotary speed sensor, a microvalve, a micropump, a pressure sensor, or a force sensor. Production of said electromechanical component incurs drastically reduced costs compared to electromechanical components produced using silicon-based technology because simple injection-moulding and/or embossing processes, instead of the complicated silicon-based technology, can be used for producing said electromechanical component.
