Abstract
A method for producing a micromechanical device. The method includes: providing a MEMS substrate having micromechanical functional layers bounding a cavity; structuring an oxide layer to form an oxide mask having at least one first recess having a first diameter; applying a resist mask to the oxide mask and the first recess; introducing a second recess into the resist mask in the area of the first recess, the second diameter being smaller than the first diameter; introducing a first trench into the MEMS substrate through the second recess; removing the resist mask; introducing a second trench into the MEMS substrate through the first recess and simultaneously deepening the first trench at least through the micromechanical substrate; adjusting a desired gas composition at a desired pressure in the cavity; sealing the first trench using a melt plug by melting substrate material of the MEMS substrate that surrounds the first trench.
