Abstract

A method for making a microelectronic device including, on a same substrate, at least one electro-mechanical component including a mobile structure of a monocrystalline semi-conductor material and a mechanism actuating and/or detecting the mobile structure, and with at least one transistor. The method a) provides a substrate including at least one first semi-conducting layer including at least one region in which a channel area of the transistor is provided, b) etches a second semi-conducting layer based on a given semi-conductor material, lying on an insulating layer placed on the first semi-conducting layer, to form at least one pattern of the mobile structure of the component in an area of monocrystalline semi-conductor material of the second semi-conducting layer, and at least one pattern of gate of the transistor on a gate dielectric area located facing the given region.
