Abstract:
The present invention describes a process for realizing buried microchannels (10) in an integrated structure (1) comprising a monocrystalline silicon substrate (2). Advantageously, according to the invention, the process provides to form in the substrate (2) at least one trench (4) and to obtain microchannels (10) starting from a deep cavity characterised by a small surface port obtained through anisotropic etching of the at least one trench (4). Microchannels (10) are completely buried in the substrate (2) in a completely microcrystalline structure.
