Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a thin membrane, comprising the following steps:implanting gas species, through one surface of a first substrate (10) and through one surface of a second substrate (20), which in said substrates are able to create microcavities (11, 21) delimiting, for each substrate, a thin layer (13, 23) lying between these microcavities and the implanted surface, the microcavities being able, after their implantation, to cause detachment of the thin layer from its substrate;assembly of the first substrate (10) onto the second substrate (20) such that their implanted surfaces face one another;detaching each thin layer (13, 23) from its substrate (10, 20), the thin layers remaining assembled together to form said thin membrane.The invention also concerns a thin membrane structure obtained with this method.
