Abstract
This invention relates to a procedure for assembling two structures (2, 4) comprising: PA1 formation on at least one of the structures of studs (12, 14, 16) made of a material that can flow and is wettable on both structures, PA1 positioning of the two structures such that said studs are on their interface, PA1 assembly of the two structures by heating the studs causing them to flow, and by bringing the two structures together as intimately as possible. According to a different procedure, joints made of a fluidizable, wettable material are incorporated in notches etched into one of the structures to be assembled. Application to microlasers.
