Abstract:
1. A method for encapsulating a micro component positioned on and/or in a substrate, comprising: depositing at least one sacrificial material covering the micro component, making a cap covering the sacrificial material, removing the sacrificial material via at least one opening formed through the cap and forming a cavity in which the micro component is positioned, depositing, at least on the cap, at least one layer of plugging material that plugs the at least one opening, and performing a localized deposition of at least one portion of mechanically reinforcing material of the cap, covering at least the cap, wherein the mechanically reinforcing material is not subsequently etched, wherein the performing the localized deposition includes performing electrolytic growth when the mechanically reinforcing material is a metal material, and performing serigraphy or syringe deposition when the mechanically reinforcing material is a polymer or solder paste.
