A method for producing a micromechanical diaphragm sensor, and a micromechanical diaphragm sensor produced with the method. The micromechanical diaphragm sensor has at least one first diaphragm as well as a second diaphragm, which is disposed essentially on top of the first diaphragm. Furthermore, the micromechanical diaphragm sensor has a first cavity and a second cavity, which is essentially disposed above the first cavity.
