Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A manufacturing method is described for a micromechanical component and a corresponding micromechanical component. The manufacturing method includes the steps: forming at least one crystallographically modified area in a substrate; forming an etching mask having a mask opening on a main surface of the substrate; and carrying out an etching step using the etching mask, the crystallographically modified area and a surrounding area of the substrate being removed and thus forming a cavern in the substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A manufacturing method for a micromechanical component, comprising: forming at least one crystallographically modified area in a substrate such that the crystallographically modified area is at least partially amorphous or polycrystalline; forming an etching mask having a mask opening on a main surface of the substrate; and carrying out an etching step using the etching mask such that the crystallographically modified area and a surrounding area of the…
