Abstract

A method for making a micro-device including at least one receiving site for components, formed in a thickness of a substrate. The method includes: a) making in at least one first substrate adhesively bonded to a second substrate via a discontinuous adhesive bonding interface, at least one first trench around at least one sacrificial block of the first substrate, by etching the first substrate so as to expose the adhesive bonding interface; and b) removing the sacrificial block so as to make at least one first cavity in the first substrate.
