The invention relates to a microsystem and a method for fabricating a microsystem. The pyrotechnic microsystem (7, 1′) comprises a substrate having at least two separate electrical initiation zones, each of which provides separate electrical initiation of a pyrotechnic material deposited on the substrate. This microsystem (7, 1′) is characterized in that the same pyrotechnic material deposit (721, 721′, 13) covers both initiation zones, said deposit (721, 721′, 13) produced on the substrate having a thickness sufficiently small for the initiation of the pyrotechnic material in the initiation zone to remain localized and not propagate to the other initiation zone, but sufficient to generate a specific gas quantity.
A pyrotechnic microsystem comprising a substrate having at least two separate electrical initiation zones of a pyrotechnic material deposited on the substrate for ignition by at least one initiator, wherein the same pyrotechnic material deposit covers both initiation zones, said deposit having a thickness sufficiently small for the initiation of the pyrotechnic material at one initiation zone to remain localized and self-extinguishing and not propagate to the other initiation zone, but sufficient to generate a specific gas quantity.
A method for fabricating a microsystem comprising a plurality of adjacent microactuators established on a substrate, each microactuator being capable of having a specific effect owing to the gases generated by the combustion of a pyrotechnic material initiated from an electrical initiation zone associated with each microactuator, the method comprising:
