Abstract

The invention concerns a silicon micromechanical weight sensor (26). According to the invention, the weight sensor comprises at least two conducting electrodes (2, 15) displaced at a distance from each other, whereby one of the elastically suspended electrode surfaces (2) or, alternatively, a structure connected thereto, acts as the pan surface of the weight sensor.
