Abstract:
A method for fabricating an integrated sensor, the method which comprises:fabricating, in a first step, on a top side of a semiconductor body, a structure of at least one electronic component and fabricating, in the semiconductor body, one of a recess, a depression, and a region with a top region being lowered relative to an adjoining region by removing material of the semiconductor body; depositing, in a second step, a layer in one of the recess, the depression, and the region with the top region lowered relative to the adjoining region, such that the layer projects above the top side of the semiconductor body in a vertical direction; structuring, in a third step, the layer for fabricating a micromechanical component; and completing, in a fourth step, the at least one electronic component and the micromechanical component including electrical contacts and interconnects.
