Patent ID: 7858424

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a sensor array, the method comprising: a monolithically integrated circuit; and a micromechanical sensor structure; wherein: the sensor structure has a first partial structure, the circuit has a second partial structure, a first doping area being produced in a substrate to produce the first partial structure, and a second doping area being created to produce the second partial structure, the first and second doping areas being created in the same doping process, during the doping process, a first dopant concentration being introduced into the first doping area and a second dopant concentration being introduced into the second doping area, the first dopant concentration being lower than the second dopant concentration, and wherein the first dopant concentration is introduced into the first doping area via a lattice-like structuring of the first partial structure, the lattice-like structuring being provided via alternating first partial areas and second partial areas, the second dopant concentration being introduced into the first partial areas, and no dopant being introduced into the second partial areas.
