Abstract

Method for manufacturing a capacitor on a substrate, the capacitor including a first electrode (5) and a second electrode (12; 25), the first and second electrodes being separated by a cavity (16; 32), the substrate including an insulating surface layer (3), the first electrode (5) being arranged on the insulating surface layer a first metal body (7a; 20) being adjacent to the first electrode and arranged as anchor of the second electrode (12; 25) the second electrode being arranged as a beam-shaped body (12; 25) located on the first metal body and above the first electrode; the cavity (16; 32) being laterally demarcated by a sidewall of the first metal body.
