Abstract
A method for producing a micromechanical component (e.g., a capacitive acceleration sensor) having one or several electrical or mechanical function variables dependent on at least one geometric design parameter. The micromechanical component is produced by an etching process via which a structure with bars and trenches is formed. The structure is formed by drafting a design for the micromechanical component in such a way that the geometric design parameter within the local area of the micromechanical component is subject to a predetermined process-related regularity. The design parameter is essentially constant in relation to function blocks in particular, so that in the etching process, the process tolerance of the design parameter within the micromechanical component essentially shows no locus dependency.
