Abstract

The microcomponent, for example a microbattery, comprising a stack with at least two superposed layers on a substrate, is made using a single steel mask able to expand under the effect of temperature. The mask comprises at least one off-centered opening. The mask being at a first temperature, a first layer is deposited through the opening of the mask. The mask being at a second temperature, higher than the first temperature, a second layer is deposited through the opening of the mask. Finally, the mask being at a third temperature, higher than the second temperature, a third layer is deposited through the opening of the mask.
