- each pattern to be produced through the upper part 2 of the component 1 can be drawn on a computer and stored in a specific manner for each piece of timepiece or jewelry.
- the decoration 3 is produced precisely in a micrometric manner, this complicates the production of any counterfeit.
- the figures 2a and 2b show a second embodiment of a component 1 provided with a decoration in top view and in simplified section for a timepiece or jewelry piece.
- a decoration in top view and in simplified section for a timepiece or jewelry piece.

- the decoration 3 is coated with a luminescent substance 4 or with a colored substance, such as paint or colored lacquer.
- the decoration 3 produced is considered transparent by making fine openings or decorative micrometric openings through the thickness of the upper part 2.
- the substance coated on a portion of the back of the upper part 2 penetrates at least partially into the openings of the upper part. decor 3.

- the axial opening 6 of the upper part 2 of the component 1 in the form of a needle allows the needle to be mounted on a drive shaft, which opens out from a watch dial.
- the upper part 2 or the base substrate used to make the upper part 2 of the component 1 can be made of a metallic, semiconductor, ceramic, amorphous metal or other material.
- ceramic material it concerns alumina, zirconia, magnesia, boron nitride, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, aluminum titanate and aluminum nitride, or other types of ceramic. he can even be provided to have an upper part 2 or base substrate made of amorphous metal, quartz, glass, sapphire, corundum or other type of precious stone.
- a micromachining technique for producing in particular the upper part 2 of component 1 is, for example, the LIGA type process (Lithography, Galvanofomung und Abformung in German terminology).
- a base substrate is used, which is preferably a semiconductor substrate, such as silicon, or even gallium arsenide, an upper layer of which can be conductive for performing the electroplating.
- a metallic base substrate can also be taken, typically copper, which can avoid making a sacrificial conductive layer on the surface of the base substrate.
- a photosensitive resin is deposited on the base substrate with the conductive layer on the surface.
- This photosensitive resin can be a resin based on polyimide PMMA (poly-methyl methacrylate) or an octofunctional epoxy-based resin available from Shell Chemical under the reference SU-8 and a photoinitiator chosen from salts of triarylsulfonium.

- UV ultra-violet
- a mask around the outline of the upper part 2 and of the motif of the decoration 3 to be produced on the base substrate is placed on the resin.
- the mask may be a glass plate on which is produced a masking layer with opaque and transparent parts depending on the pattern to be produced.
- Light radiation for example of the ultra-violet type, is directed onto the mask to irradiate parts of the resin which are not masked.
- this type of resin used which is negative photosensitive resin, the non-irradiated parts can be removed by physical means or chemical. This makes it possible to define the shape of the upper part 2 with its decoration 3.
- a positive photosensitive resin can also be used with a mask with a masking layer having opaque and transparent parts depending on the pattern to be produced.
- This mask is the reverse of the mask used with negative resin. In this case, it is the irradiated parts of the resin that are removed.
- an electroplating or electroplating operation is carried out. Growth of at least one metallic material takes place in the open parts of the resin from the conductive layer formed on the surface of the base substrate. Once the thickness of the deposited metal layer is sufficient, the upper part 2 is made with the desired decorative pattern 3 and can be detached from the base substrate while also removing the resin. The base metal or semiconductor material substrate can also be removed or removed before or after removal of the resin by a machining or selective dissolving operation.
- the metallic materials deposited by the LIGA process can be nickel or nickel phosphorus alloys, or even copper-based alloys, gold or even steels. It can be used in principle any metal or metal alloy, which can be deposited by this galvanic process.
- Another technique for producing the upper part 2 of component 1 consists in directly etching a base substrate in order to obtain the upper part directly.
- the etching of the base substrate is a micromechanical machining.
- the defined process DRIE Deep Reactive Ion Etching in English terminology
- the base substrate must in principle be made of a material such as monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon, porous silicon, amorphous silicon, doped monocrystalline silicon, doped polycrystalline silicon, doped silicon carbide or not, silicon nitride doped or not or also on the basis of gallium arsenide.
- quartz, photuran glass, and fragile materials such as sapphire, corundum for example.

- a photosensitive resin of the negative or positive type must first be deposited on the base substrate, which is illuminated through a mask defining the contours of the pattern of the decoration 3 to be produced, as well as the periphery. of the upper part 2 to be made.
- a structured resin is used to obtain a mask of silicon oxide.
- This silicon oxide mask will in turn be used as an etching mask for the defined DRIE process.
- a silicon substrate is first taken, on which a silicon oxide (SiO2) of a certain thickness is produced.
- a photosensitive resin is deposited and a structuring of this resin by photolithography is carried out.
- Etching of the silicon oxide layer is performed by structuring the resin, which is subsequently removed.
- a silicon substrate is obtained with an upper layer of structured silicon oxide. This structured layer of silicon oxide acts as a mask for etching the silicon in order to be able to produce the upper part 2.
