Abstract

The invention concerns a method which consists in first subjecting the polyimide sheet to ionic bombardment, followed by an irradiation in the visible domain and finally a relatively brief chemical etching. Said method enables a thin polyimide sheet comprising pores, of nanometric to micrometric size, having a substantially cylindrical shape and substantially equal diameters to be obtained.
