Abstract

A process of manufacturing an apparatus incorporating a layered thin film structure, wherein said process more particularly obviates the need to repeat on a first part of the apparatus the effects of certain operations required to produce the second part formed by the layered thin film structure. For this purpose, the process consists of utilizing a substrate to produce an intermediate assembly (12) comprising the thin film structure (11), then attaching the intermediate assembly (12) to the first part (10), then at least partially eliminating the intermediate substrate (13).
