Abstract
The micro-electromechanical semiconductor component is provided with a semiconductor substrate in which a cavity is formed, which is delimited by lateral walls and by a top and a bottom wall. In order to form a flexible connection to the region of the semiconductor substrate, the top or bottom wall is provided with trenches around the cavity, and bending webs are formed between said trenches. At least one measuring element that is sensitive to mechanical stresses is formed within at least one of said bending webs. Within the central region surrounded by the trenches, the top or bottom wall comprises a plurality of depressions reducing the mass of the central region and a plurality of stiffening braces separating the depressions.
