A micromechanical component formed from, a substrate (100) having a first cavity (112) and a second cavity (113), a first micromechanical structure (117) arranged in the first cavity (112), and a second micromechanical structure (118) arranged in the second cavity (113). The first cavity (112) and the second cavities having respective first and second gas pressures having different values. The first gas pressure is provided by a closed configuration of the first cavity (112) and a first channel (115) opens into the second cavity (113), and the second gas pressure is adjustable via the first channel (115).
