==MICROELECTROMECHANICAL COMPONENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240343554 titled 'MICROELECTROMECHANICAL COMPONENT

The microelectromechanical component described in the patent application is designed to interact with a pressure gradient of a fluid. It consists of a substrate with a through-cavity and a membrane structure that spans the through-cavity, featuring a central support structure and two membranes. 

* The membrane structure includes a second membrane with a second electrically conductive membrane electrode layer.
* The central support structure contains a center electrode and a contacting element.
* The membranes are connected by spacer elements.
* The membrane structure is divided into an inner region, an outer region, and a fastening region.
* The center electrode is located entirely within the inner region, while the contacting element extends from the center electrode through the outer region into the fastening region.
