Abstract

A method for manufacturing a micromechanical inertial sensor, including: forming a movable MEMS structure in a MEMS wafer; connecting a cap wafer to the MEMS wafer; forming an access opening into the cavity, the access opening to the cavity being formed from two opposing sides; a defined narrow first access opening being formed from one side of the movable MEMS structure and a defined wide second access opening being formed from a surface of the MEMS wafer, the second access opening being formed to be wider in a defined manner than the first access opening; and closing the first access opening while enclosing a defined internal pressure in the cavity.
