Abstract
A method for manufacturing a micromechanical structure and a micromechanical structure. The method includes: forming a first micromechanical functional layer; forming a plurality of trenches in the first micromechanical functional layer, which include an upper widened area at the upper side of the first micromechanical functional layer and a lower area of essentially constant width; depositing a sealing layer on the upper side of the first micromechanical functional layer to seal the plurality of trenches, a sealing point of the plurality of trenches being formed below the upper side of the first micromechanical functional layer and the first trenches being at least partially filled; thinning back the sealing layer by a predefined thickness; and forming a second micromechanical functional layer above the thinned-back sealing layer.
