A cap substrate is disposed over the MEMS substrate, where a first pair of sidewalls of the cap substrate partially define an upper portion of the first cavity, and a second pair of sidewalls of the cap substrate partially define an upper portion of the second cavity. A sensor area comprising a movable portion of the MEMS substrate and a dummy area comprising a fixed portion of the MEMS substrate are both disposed in the first cavity. A pressure enhancement structure is disposed in the dummy area.

The micromechanical sensor device is fitted with a substrate including a front side and a rear side; a micromechanical sensor chip including a sensor area attached to the front side of the substrate; and a capping unit attached to the front side of the substrate, which is formed at least partially by an ASIC chip. The capping unit surrounds the micromechanical sensor chip in such a way that a cavity closed toward the front side of the substrate is formed between the sensor area of the micromechanical sensor chip and the ASIC chip. A mold package is formed above the capping unit.

A method of manufacturing a sensor device comprising: configuring a moulding support structure and a packaging mould so as to provide predetermined pathways to accommodate a moulding compound, the moulding support structure defining a first notional volume adjacent a second notional volume. An elongate sensor element and the moulding support structure are configured so that the moulding support structure fixedly carries the elongate sensor element and the elongate sensor element resides substantially in the first notional volume and extends towards the second notional volume, the elongate sensor element having an electrical contact electrically coupled to another electrical contact disposed within the second notional volume.
