Abstract
A method for producing a microfluid component includes: Producing a single polymer layer made of at least one plastic or a plastic composite and having a microfluid structure, fitting the polymer layer with at least one semiconductor element, and/or with at least one electronic component, and/or with an optical or optoelectronic component, sealing the microfluid structure.

A method for producing a microfluid component, comprising:
- producing a layer of polymer, the polymer (I) being formed of at least one of (a) a plastic and (b) a plastic composite, and (II) forming polymer components arranged to provide within the layer of polymer a microfluid structure;
- fitting at least one of (a) a semiconductor element, (b) an electronic component, (c) an optical component, and (d) an optoelectronic component onto at least one of the polymer components;
- and
- sealing the microfluid structure by providing a sealing layer on each of two sides of the layer of polymer, the sealing layers facing away from each other.
