Abstract:
1. A micromechanical component, which is a micromechanical sensor, comprises: a first wafer having at least one structural element; and a second wafer having at least one mating structural element; wherein the structural element and the mating structural element are configured so that a relative displacement of the first wafer with respect to the second wafer parallel to a main extension plane of the first wafer essentially leads to one of compressive loading and tensile loading between the structural element and the mating structural element, wherein at least one of the first wafer and the second wafer includes a functional region, which is surrounded by a sealing region, wherein the functional region has at least one displaceable element, the displaceable element being provided so as to be displaceable with respect to at least one of the first wafer and the second wafer, and at least one of the first wafer and the second wafer includes a stop, which functions as mechanical delimitation of a maximum deflection of the displaceable structure perpendicular to the first main extension plane.
