Abstract

A micromechanical enclosure suitable for micromechanical sensors, particularly acceleration sensors in the field of automotive vehicles, includes a micromechanical structure on a substrate, a conductor track layer connected to the micromechanical structure on the main surface of the substrate, a cover that covers a part of the main surface of the substrate, and a level compensation layer arranged next to the conductor track layer beneath the contact area during the manufacture of the wafer. A planarizing layer, which forms a level surface, may additionally be applied above this, to form a level area on the substrate which can easily be joined to a level area of the cover by means of a metallic wafer bond. This achieves small overall dimensions and avoids a glass frit bond.
