ABSTRACT:
A process for producing a substrate is described. The process includes providing an assembly having a first layer weakly bonded to a temporary support at an interface therebetween. At least a portion of the first layer is selectively etched substantially to the interface to create an etched zone. A second layer is then bonded to un-etched portions of the first layer to cover the etched zone and to form a closed cavity. The first layer is detached from the temporary support at the weak bond by providing a raised pressure in the cavity.
