The invention relates to a method for producing a MEMS transducer for interacting with a volume flow of a fluid. For this purpose, a shaping component for forming a vibratable membrane with an actuator layer in the form of a meander structure and an actuator material comprising polymers are first provided, wherein the actuator material is present in the form of a polymer foil or a polymer liquid. In order to obtain the shape of the actuator layer of the vibratable membrane, the shaping component is placed in contact with the actuator material. Advantageously, during the contact between the shaping component and the actuator material, the polymers of the actuator material are aligned and / or stretched such that a dipole moment of the polymers is increased and piezoelectric properties of the actuator material are enhanced. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a MEMS transducer which can be produced using the method.

The disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a polymer-based frequency component for a radio frequency device with through-holes. The method comprises: providing a first polymer foil with a pattern of blind holes at a topside of the first polymer foil; disposing and planarizing uncured polymer onto the topside, the uncured polymer infiltrating the blind holes and covering the topside; curing the planarized uncured polymer to obtain a second polymer foil comprising a cured polymer structure corresponding to the pattern of blind holes; removing excess polymer from the second polymer foil; placing a releasable structure on the topside of the first polymer foil, the releasable structure being configured to bond to the cured polymer structure and to release the cured polymer structure from the first polymer foil; metal coating the releasable structure to obtain a fully or partially metallized polymer membrane with a pattern of through holes; and releasing the metallized polymer membrane from the first polymer foil to obtain the polymer-based frequency component with the through-holes.

Certain splice arrangements include first and second laminated structures bonded around a splice location where two or more optical fibers are spliced ​​(e.g., fusion-spliced) together. The first and second laminated structures each include a flexible polymer foil and a heat-activated adhesive layer supported by the flexible polymer foil. Other splice arrangements include a protective barrier disposed around an optical splice. The protective barrier includes first and second protective layers bonded around the optical splice. Each protective layer includes a film supporting an adhesive. The protective barrier may be flexible enough not to restrict the flexing of the optical fibers at the splice location. The illustrative splice arrangements have thicknesses less than or equal to 1000 microns, 900 microns, 800 microns, 700 microns, 600 microns, or 500 microns.
