Abstract
By combining the original LIGA-process with a sacrificial layer technique, movable microstructures are fabricated to realize microsensor and microactuator elements. As examples of movable microstructures a capacitive acceleration sensor, a microturbine, and a linear comb-drive have been fabricated. Their characteristics and results concerning their behavior are presented.<>
