1. A method for manufacturing a sensor, comprising the steps of:
- sequentially depositing on a substrate, a first insulating layer, a conducting layer directly in contact with said first insulating layer, a second insulating layer directly in contact with said conducting layer, and a silicon layer directly in contact with said second insulating layer;
patterning the conducting layer and the second insulating layer before deposition of a subsequent layer;
introducing trenches into the silicon layer, the trenches extending from a top side of the silicon layer to the second insulating layer; and
applying an etching medium through the trenches to the second insulating layer.

Abstract
In a sensor and a method for manufacturing a sensor, a movable element is patterned out of a silicon layer and is secured to a substrate. The conducting layer is subdivided into various regions, which are electrically insulated from one another. The electrical connection between the various regions of the silicon layer is established by a conducting layer, which is arranged between a first and a second insulating layer.
