METHOD OF PRODUCING AT LEAST ONE RECESS IN A SURFACE OF A SUBSTRATE, DEVICE FOR CARRYING OUT THE SAID METHOD AND USE OF THE PRODUCT THUS OBTAINED

摘要

With the proposed method, a masking device (5) with an aperture (6) is placed on the substrate (8), the masking device (5) and the region to be etched (90) on the substrate surface (9) forming a hollow chamber (11) which communicates with the reaction chamber (4) only via the aperture (6). The recess (10) is produced with the aid of corrosive radicals produced in the reaction chamber. In this way, a recess (10) with a smooth and precisely adjustable depth contour is obtained.
