1. A micromechanical component for a capacitive sensor device, comprising:

  • a first electrode; and

    a second electrode, the first electrode being at least partially formed from a first semiconductor layer and/or metal layer, and at least one inner side of a layer of the second electrode facing the first electrode being formed from a second semiconductor layer and/or metal layer;

    wherein the second electrode is suspended at a distance from the first electrode so that a cavity is present between the first electrode and the second electrode, and continuous recesses are structured into the layer of the second electrode which forms the inner side, and being sealed off with the aid of a closure layer,wherein at least one reinforcing layer of the second electrode and at least one contact element which is electrically connected to the first electrode, to the layer of the second electrode which forms the inner side, to a first printed conductor composed of the first semiconductor layer and/or metal layer, to a second printed conductor composed of the second semiconductor layer and/or metal layer, and/or to a conductive substrate area, are formed from at least one epi-polysilicon layer so that at least one subarea of the closure layer which seals off the continuous recesses and at least one subsurface of the first electrode, of the layer of the second electrode which forms the inner side, of the first printed conductor, of the second printed conductor, and/or of the conductive substrate area which is exposed with the aid of at least one contact opening, are covered with the aid of the single epi-polysilicon layer or with the aid of the innermost of the at least two epi-polysilicon layers.
