Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2849016A1] Production of integrated micro-system components comprises, successively, depositing a sacrificial polymer layer (2), deposition, on at least a part of the substrate (1) and of the leading surface of the sacrificial layer, of an embedding layer (6) of thickness greater than that of the sacrificial layer and planation so the sacrificial layer and the embedding layer form a common plane surface. A layer (3) for the formation of a suspended structure (5) is deposited on the leading surface of this common plane surface. The planation may include a mechano-chemical polishing and engraving of the embedding layer. Engraving of the sacrificial layer uses a mask, formed on the leading surface of a polymer layer, eliminated during planation. An Independent claim is also included for: a component produced by this method, in which the two surfaces of the suspended structure formation layer are totally flat.
