1. A device, comprising:
- a housing having a housing wall;
a bottom connected to the housing and having at least one base, the base having an edge,wherein;
the device is manufactured to provide the edge of the base with a plurality of first predetermined regions and a plurality of second predetermined regions, a distance of each of the first regions from the housing wall being substantially less than a greatest distance of each of the second regions from the housing wall within a single plane that is perpendicular to a central axis, the central axis extending between a top and a bottom of the housing and into the base;
a height of the housing wall between the top and the bottom of the housing is substantially greater than a height of the base;
the first regions of the base center the housing on the base by contacting the housing wall;
free volumes disposed between locations of contact between the first regions and the housing wall are filled with a passivating material; and
the device is a micromechanical sensor.

Abstract
A device having at least one housing and one bottom connected to the housing. In this context, the housing has a housing wall and the bottom at least one base. Further it is provided for the base to have a specifiable edge. The essence of the present arrangement now lies in the fact that the edge of the base has at least two regions, a first region being situated closer to the housing wall and a second region being further removed from the housing wall.

14. A method for manufacturing a device, comprising:
-
providing a housing having a housing wall; providing a bottom connected to the housing and having at least one base, the base having an edge, wherein; the providing of the bottom is performed in a manner that results in formation of the edge with a plurality of first predetermined regions and a plurality of second predetermined regions, a distance of each of the first regions from the housing wall being substantially less than a greatest distance of each of the second regions from the housing wall within a single plane that is perpendicular to a central axis, the central axis extending between a top and a bottom of the housing and into the base; a height of the housing wall between the top and the bottom of the housing is substantially greater than a height of the base; the first regions of the base center the housing on the base by contacting the housing wall; free volumes disposed between locations of contact between the first regions and the housing wall are filled with a passivating material; and the device is a micromechanical sensor. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
