Abstract
A rotation-rate sensor includes a substrate having a surface, a movable element situated above the surface, which is deflectable based on a Coriolis force along a first axis that runs perpendicular to the surface, a driving device which is prepared to activate the movable element along a second axis that runs parallel to the surface, a compensation device, in order to generate an electrostatic force along the first axis, including electrodes corresponding to one another, developed on the substrate and on the movable element; a relative degree of covering of the electrodes in the direction of the first axis being a function of the deflection of the movable element along the second axis; and the electrode developed on the movable element runs around an insulating region of the movable element.
