Abstract

A mechanical microstructure including a deformable first layer overhanging a second layer and defining a cavity set back from an external face of the deformable first layer and having an abutment stud projecting into the cavity, in which a wire is connected to a portion of an internal face of the deformable first layer. The portion of the first layer is opposite a bottom area of the cavity into which the abutment stud projects, but the abutment stud remains at a distance from the deformable first layer. A method of producing the mechanical microstructure is also disclosed.
