Mems for controlling a fluid flow

Abstract

An MMS has a first layer which has a first opening for letting pass a fluid. Additionally, a second layer which is arranged opposite the first layer is provided, and having a second layer for letting pass the fluid. Together with the first layer, it forms at least part of a layer stack with layers stacked in a stacking direction perpendicular to a substrate plane of the MEMS. A cavity arranged between the first layer and the second layer is arranged and has an element which is moveable along a direction in parallel to the substrate plane, which has at least a first and a second positioning, wherein, in the first positioning, flow-through of the fluid is inhibited and, in the second positioning, flow-through of the fluid through the cavity along the stacking direction is possible.
