Abstract

The invention relates to a microelectronic integrated sensor, in which a cantilever is formed. To avoid mechanical stress during the production process, the cantilever is disposed freely movably in the sensor. To that end, a support for retaining the cantilever and lateral and upper motion limiters are provided, which prevent the cantilever from slipping off the support. The invention also relates to a method for producing such a sensor.
