Abstract

A method for making a thin layer from a structure. A stacked structure is made of a first part designed to facilitate the introduction of gaseous species and of a second part, the second part having a first free face and a second face integral with the first part. A gaseous species is introduced into the structure, from the first part, to create an embrittled zone, a thin layer being thus delimited between the first face of the second part and the embrittled zone. The thin layer is separated from the remaining of the structure at the level of the embrittled zone.
