Claim Text:
1. A micromechanical component comprising: a top face and a bottom face; at least two side faces; and a coating comprising at least one of diamond and diamond-like carbon (DLC), the coating encompassing all surfaces of the component, wherein the coating is nanocrystalline and the gradient of the average grain size of the nanocrystalline diamond, measured in the direction of the thickness of the nanocrystalline diamond, is less than 300%; wherein the coating over at least a part of at least one side face has a smaller coating thickness than the coating of at least one of the top face and the bottom face, defining a reinforced area in relation to the at least one side face, wherein the coating thickness of the coating on at least one of the top face or the bottom face defines a minimum coating thickness between about 0.5 to about 50 micrometers, and the coating thickness of the at least one side face is at least 10% thinner relative to the minimum coating thickness of at least one of the top face and bottom face, wherein the coating thickness varies on the at least one side face; wherein the micromechanical component is made by a method comprising:
