1. A device, comprising:
a substrate with a main surface,
a counter electrode disposed on the substrate, wherein the counter electrode is at least partly formed on the main surface of the substrate, wherein a surface of the counter electrode is facing the substrate;
a membrane supported spaced apart from the counter electrode to be opposed to the counter electrode, wherein another surface of the counter electrode facing away from the substrate is opposed to the membrane,
wherein the membrane includes at least one antistick element in a central region of the membrane and at least one corrugation groove in an edge region of the membrane surrounding the central region,
wherein the at least one corrugation groove and the at least one antisticking element are made of the same material as the membrane and are integrally formed with the membrane in a common production step.
