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.

A micromechanical sensor includes a base substrate, a cap substrate, and a MEMS substrate that is connected to each of the base and cap substrates by respective metallic bond connections and that includes a mechanical functional layer including movable MEMS elements, an electrode device for acquiring an indication of a movement of the MEMS elements and fashioned by layer deposition, and a sacrificial layer that is lower than the mechanical function layer, is fashioned by layer deposition, and is omitted in a region underneath the movable MEMS elements.
