  • Patent number: 5759616
    Abstract: In a process for producing microstructure components on a substrate which carries electronic microcircuits cooperating functionally with the microstructure components, a first layer of a plastic material which connects with the substrate is applied to the substrate and a second layer of a plastic material which includes a separating agent but which firmly connects with the first layer is applied to the first layer and a molding tool is then impressed into the second layer to form the desired microstructures or to form cavities into the plastic material, which, upon removal of the molding tool, are filled with a metal to form the desired microstructures on the substrate upon removal of the plastic material.
