Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022194880A1] Embodiments of the present disclosure describe MEMS sound transducers for generating sound, comprising an actuator which is separated from a surrounding structure by one or more gaps and is designed to perform a relative movement between the actuator and the surrounding structure. The MEMS sound transducer also comprises the surrounding structure, wherein: the actuator and the surrounding structure comprise a multiplicity of recesses and projections which are separated by one or more gaps; and the multiplicity of projections belonging to the actuator are located in the multiplicity of recesses belonging to the surrounding structure in mutual engagement and/or the multiplicity of projections belonging to the surrounding structure are located in the multiplicity of recesses belonging to the actuator in mutual engagement.
