MICROELECTROMECHANICAL INERTIAL SENSOR WITH ATMOSPHERIC DAMPING
First Claim
1. An inertial sensor in form of a microeletromechanical device, preferably an acceleration sensor or a multi-axis acceleration sensor, comprising a housing (19) with at least one first gas-filled cavity (5), in which cavity a first detection unit (9) is arranged movably relative to said housing (19) for detecting an acceleration to be detected,said inertial sensor comprising a damping structure (16a, b, c, d) for damping movement of said first detection unit (9) in said housing (19) at least along an inertial sensors measurement direction (28).
