A device for manufacturing a capacitive pressure measurement includes an insulated base electrode, a mechanically deflectable counterelectrode composed of a layer made of at least one of a monocrystalline and polycrystalline semiconductor material, a contact arrangement for electrically connecting the electrodes, and at least one semiconductor component, all integrated onto a semiconductor substrate. The connection for the base electrode is formed by an electrically insulated conductive polycrystalline semiconductor layer. The method for manufactured the device includes the step of arranging a conductive polycrystalline semiconductor layer between two insulating layers on the semiconductor substrate for forming a base electrode.
