    Abstract: A micromechanical component for a capacitive pressure sensor device, including a diaphragm that is stretched with the aid of a frame structure in such a way that a cantilevered area of the diaphragm spans a framed partial surface, and including a reinforcement structure that is formed at the cantilevered area. A first spatial direction oriented in parallel to the framed partial surface is definable in which the cantilevered area has a minimal extension, and a second spatial direction oriented in parallel to the framed partial surface and oriented perpendicularly with respect to the first spatial direction is definable in which the cantilevered area has a greater extension. The reinforcement structure is present at a first distance from the frame structure in the first spatial direction, and at a second distance in the second spatial direction, the second distance being greater than the first distance.

    Abstract: A micromechanical component for a sensor device, including a substrate, at least one first counter-electrode, at least one first electrode adjustably situated on a side of the at least one first counter-electrode facing away from the substrate, and a capacitor sealing structure, which seals gas-tight an interior volume, including the at least one first counter-electrode present therein and the at least one first electrode present therein. The at least one first counter-electrode is fastened directly or indirectly to a frame structure fastened directly or indirectly to the substrate, and the frame structure framing a cavity, and the at least one first counter-electrode at least partially spanning the cavity in such a way that at least one gas is transferable between the cavity and the interior volume via at least one opening formed at and/or in the at least one first counter-electrode.

    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a piezoelectric resonator. The method includes: depositing a piezoelectric layer and forming a recess in a lateral area in such a way that a silicon functional layer is exposed inside the recess, forming a silicide layer on a surface of the silicon functional layer exposed inside the recess, forming a diffusion barrier layer on the silicide layer, depositing and structuring a first and second metallization layer in such a way that a supply line and two connection elements are formed, forming the oscillating structure by structuring the silicon functional layer, the silicon functional layer of the oscillating structure being able to be electrically contacted via the first connection element and forming a lower electrode of the resonator, the first metallization layer of the oscillating structure being able to be electrically contacted via the second connection element and forming an upper electrode of the resonator.
