The invention relates to a MEMS mirror assembly for detecting a large angular range up to 180, preferably up to 160, and to a method for producing a MEMS mirror assembly. The mirror assembly comprises a carrier substrate (1), on which a mirror (2) vibrating about at least one axis is mounted, a transparent cover (4), which is connected in a hermetically sealed manner to the carrier substrate (1) and which comprises an ellipsoidal dome (6) having a substantially round base area, and a compensation optical system (8), which is arranged in a predefined beam path for an incident beam outside the dome (6). The middle of the mirror (2) lies in the centre point of the dome, and the compensation optical system (8) collimates the incident beam in such a way that a divergence or convergence of the beam caused by the boundary surfaces of the dome once said beam has exited from the dome (6) is substantially compensated.

The mirror assemblies are then separated from the joined wafers. The domes of the cover wafer are produced by a glass flow process.
