Summary: | A manufacturing method for a micromechanical semiconductor element includes providing on a semiconductor substrate a patterned stabilizing element having at least one opening. The opening is arranged such that it allows access to a first region in the semiconductor substrate, the first region having a first doping. Furthermore, a selective removal of at least a portion of the semiconductor material having the first doping out of the first region of the semiconductor substrate is provided. In addition, a membrane is produced above the first region using a first epitaxy layer applied on the stabilizing element. In a further method step, at least a portion of the first region is used to produce a cavity underneath the stabilizing element. In this manner, the present invention provides for the production of the patterned stabilizing element by means of a second epitaxy layer, which is applied on the semiconductor substrate. |
