Abstract

A method for producing a MEMS component including the steps of simultaneously embedding structure elements during producing the multi-level conductive path layer stack which structure elements are to be subsequently exposed, subsequently producing a recess that extends from a substrate backside to the multi-level conductive path layer stack, exposing the micromechanical structure elements in the multi-level conductive path layer stack through the recess. In order to increase process precision a reference mask for defining a lateral position or a lateral extension of the micromechanical structure elements to be exposed is produced, wherein the reference mask is either arranged on the substrate front side between the substrate and the multi-level conductive path layer stack or in a layer of the multi-level conductive path layer stack which layer is more proximal to the substrate than the structure element to be exposed.
