The present invention relates to a self-centring arrangement of microstructured elements, especially microoptical components on one substrate used as a support. It is a well-known method to fit microoptical components with parts by inserting same into recesses intended for that purpose. The present invention aims at improving the orientation of the components (K1, K2) relative to each other in such a way that inserting attachable parts (Z1, Z2) in said recesses (A) results in a distortion which can affect either the attached parts and the recesses or a formed material located between the attached parts and the recesses. The distortion improves the self-centring features and enables the manufacturing tolerance to be better compensated. When the module cannot be fitted with an appropriate attachable part, an intermediate support is used, e.g. a plastic body manufactured according to the LIGA technology.

La présente invention concerne un arrangement à centrage automatique de corps microstructurés, en particulier de composants microoptiques sur l'un des substrats servant de support. C'est un procédé bien connu de doter les composants microoptiques de pièces ajoutées qui s'intègrent dans les cavités prévues à cet effet. La présente invention vise à améliorer l'orientation des composants (K1, K2) les uns par rapport aux autres de telle manière que, lorsque l'on introduit les pièces ajoutables (Z1, Z2) dans lesdites cavités (A), il en résulte une déformation. Cette déformation peut concerner les pièces ajoutées ou les cavités directement ou un matériau façonné situé entre les pièces ajoutées et les cavités. Cette déformation entraîne une amélioration des caractéristiques d'autocentrage. En outre, les tolérances de fabrication sont plus faciles à compenser. Lorsque le corps ne peut être pourvu d'une pièce ajoutable appropriée, on utilise un support intermédiaire, à savoir un corps plastique fabriqué par exemple selon la technique LIGA.
