    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A process for fabricating a suspended microelectromechanical system (MEMS) structure comprising epitaxial semiconductor functional layers that are partially or completely suspended over a substrate. A sacrificial release layer and a functional device layer are formed on a substrate. The functional device layer is etched to form windows in the functional device layer defining an outline of a suspended MEMS device to be formed from the functional device layer. The sacrificial release layer is then etched with a selective release etchant to remove the sacrificial release layer underneath the functional layer in the area defined by the windows to form the suspended MEMS structure.
