    Abstract: A micromechanical component, whose diaphragm is supported and has support structures on its inner diaphragm side. Each of the support structures includes a first and second edge element structure, and at least one intermediate element structure positioned between the first and second edge element structures. For each of the support structures, a plane of symmetry is definable, with respect to which at least the first edge element structure of the respective support structure and the second edge element structure of the respective support structure are specularly symmetric. In each of support structures, a first maximum dimension of its first edge element structure perpendicular to its plane of symmetry and a second maximum dimension of its second edge element structure perpendicular to its plane of symmetry are greater than the maximum dimension of its intermediate element structure perpendicular to its plane of symmetry.

    Abstract: A micromechanical component for a sensor device or microphone device. The component includes a diaphragm support structure with a diaphragm, a cavity formed in the diaphragm support structure and adjoined by a diaphragm inner side, and a separating trench structured through the surface of the diaphragm support structure and extends to the cavity and completely frames the diaphragm, and that is sealed off media-tight and/or air-tight using at least one separating trench closure material. An etching channel is formed in the diaphragm support structure, separately from the separating trench, and extends from its first etching channel end section to its second etching channel end section. The first etching channel end section opens into the cavity, and the second etching channel end section is sealed off media-tight and/or air-tight using at least one etching channel closure structure formed on an outer partial surface of the surface of the diaphragm support structure.

    Abstract: A micromechanical component for a sensor and/or microphone device. The component has an adjustable first actuator electrode suspended on a regionally deformable first layer, a first stator electrode fastened so that a first measuring signal is able to be tapped with regard to a first voltage or capacitance applied between the first actuator electrode and the first stator electrode, and a second actuator electrode, so that a second measuring signal is able to be tapped with regard to a second voltage or capacitance applied between the second actuator electrode and the first stator electrode or between the second actuator electrode and the second stator electrode. The second actuator electrode is situated in an adjustable manner on a side of the first actuator electrode facing away from the first layer in that the second actuator electrode is suspended on the first actuator electrode and/or an at least regionally deformable second layer.

    Abstract: A micromechanical component for a sensor device or microphone device. The micromechanical component includes a diaphragm with a diaphragm inner side to which an electrode structure is directly or indirectly connected; and a cavity that is formed at least in a volume that is exposed by at least one removed area of at least one sacrificial layer. At least one residual area made of at least one electrically insulating sacrificial layer material of the at least one sacrificial layer is also present at the micromechanical component, and including at least one insulation area made of at least one electrically insulating material that is not the same as the electrically insulating sacrificial layer material. The electrode structure is electrically insulated from the diaphragm, and/or the at least one residual area of the at least one sacrificial layer is delimited from the cavity, using the at least one insulation area.

    Abstract: A micromechanical pressure sensor device and a corresponding manufacturing method. The micromechanical pressure sensor device is equipped with a sensor substrate; a diaphragm system that is anchored in the sensor substrate and that includes a first diaphragm and a second diaphragm situated spaced apart therefrom, which are circumferentially connected to one another in an edge area and enclose a reference pressure in an interior space formed in between; and a plate-shaped electrode that is suspended in the interior space and that is situated spaced apart from the first diaphragm and from the second diaphragm and forms a first capacitor with the first diaphragm and forms a second capacitor with the second diaphragm. The first diaphragm and the second diaphragm are designed in such a way that they are deformable toward one another when acted on by an external pressure.
