Micromechanical spring for a sensor element

A method for manufacturing a micromechanical spring for a sensor element, comprising:

• forming the micromechanical spring from at least two spring sections, the at least two spring sections being formed in such a way that a first spring section having a first length is formed with a defined width differing from that of a second spring section having a second length, the at least two spring sections extending along a first axis, wherein each of the at least two spring sections is a spring;
• wherein the forming of the micromechanical spring from the at least two spring sections includes forming the micromechanical spring integrally in one piece with a rocker element of the sensor element, the rocker element extending in parallel to the micromechanical spring and the first axis, and the rocker element extending along a length of the micromechanical spring on two different sides of the micromechanical spring;
• wherein the at least two spring sections includes a first spring section and a second spring section, each of the first spring section and the second spring section having a respective first end of its respective defined length and a respective second end of its respective defined length opposite from the respective first end, the respective first end of the first spring section being integrally formed with the rocker element, the respective second end of the first spring section being integrally formed with and directly connected to the respective first end of the second spring section, the second end of the second spring section is not directly connected to the rocker element, and wherein the first spring section extends along the sensing axis for its respective defined length in a first plane, and the second spring section extends along the sensing axis for its respective defined length in the first plane so that the first spring section and the second spring section are co-planar.
