Abstract:
The method is based on the use of a silicon carbide mask for removing a sacrificial region. In case of manufacture of integrated semiconductor material structures, the following steps are performed: forming a sacrificial region (6) of silicon oxide on a substrate (1) of semiconductor material; growing a pseudo-epitaxial layer (8); forming an electronic circuit (10-13, 18); depositing a silicon carbide layer (21); defining photolithographycally the silicon carbon layer so as to form an etching mask (23) containing the topography of a microstructure (27) to be formed; with the etching mask (23), forming trenches (25) in the pseudo-epitaxial layer (8) as far as the sacrificial region (6) so as to laterally define the microstructure; and removing the sacrificial region (6) through the trenches (25).
