Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018162417A1] A MEMS comprises a substrate which has a cavity, and a movable element which is arranged in the cavity and comprises a first electrode, a second electrode and a third electrode which is arranged between the first and second electrodes and is fixed in position such that it is electrically insulated from said electrodes in discrete regions. The movable element is designed to execute a movement along a movement direction in a substrate plane in response to an electrical potential between the first electrode and the third electrode or in response to an electrical potential between the second electrode and the third electrode. A dimension of the third electrode perpendicular to the substrate plane is smaller than a dimension of the first electrode and a dimension of the second electrode perpendicular to the substrate plane.
