ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing a micromechanical component has the steps: providing a substrate having a front side and a back side; structuring the front side of the substrate; at least partially covering the structured front side of the substrate with a protective layer containing germanium; structuring the back of the substrate; and at least partially removing the protective layer containing germanium from the structured front side of the substrate.
