  • Patent number: 7838393
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for collective manufacturing of cavities and/or membranes (24), with a given thickness d, in a wafer said to be a semiconductor on insulator layer, comprising at least one semiconducting surface layer with a thickness d on an insulating layer, this insulating layer itself being supported on a substrate, this process comprising: etching of the semiconducting surface layer with thickness d, the insulating layer forming a stop layer, to form said cavities and/or membranes in the surface layer.

  • Patent number: 7196385
    Abstract: An electromechanical microstructure including a first mechanical part formed in a first electrically conductive material, and which includes a zone deformable in an elastic manner having a thickness value and an exposed surface, and a first organic film having a thickness, present on all of the exposed surface of the deformable zone. The thickness of the first film is such that the elastic response of the deformable zone equipped with the first film does not change by more than 5% compared to the response of the bare deformable zone, or the thickness of the first film is less than ten times the thickness of the deformable zone.
