Abstract:
A method of producing an electric, electronic, optical and/or mechanical component where a die or mould is used, where the substrate for said component is given a three-dimensional structure or shape, and where the substrate is adapted for further treatment or processing to build said component, characterised in that said substrate is formed by shaping said substrate against said die or mould, such as by moulding, pressing, extruding or embossing said substrate;that at least a part of said die or mould that corresponds to said component is produced by shaping against a model of said structure, e.g. by moulding or electroplating; that said model is produced by micromechanically working a material that has been suitably prepared to this end; and in that the three-dimensional structure or configuration of said model is chosen so as to correspond to desired component-associated surface parts, electric conductor paths, and/or further electric and/or electronic circuits; or that at least a part of said die or mould that corresponds to said component is produced by micromechanically working a material that is suitable for such working; and in that the three-dimensional structure or configuration of said die or mould is complementary in relation to desired component-associated surface parts, electric conductor paths and/or further electric and/or electronic circuits.
