Method for Producing a Micromechanical Component, and Corresponding Micromechanical Component

摘要

A method for producing a micromechanical component includes providing a substrate with a monocrystalline starting layer which is exposed in structured regions. The structured regions have an upper face and lateral flanks, wherein a catalyst layer, which is suitable for promoting a silicon epitaxial growth of the exposed upper face of the structured monocrystalline starting layer, is provided on the upper face, and no catalyst layers are provided on the flanks. The method also includes carrying out a selective epitaxial growth process on the upper face of the monocrystalline starting layer using the catalyst layer in a reactive gas atmosphere in order to form a micromechanical functional layer.
