In a method for producing such a component or such a platform a substrate with an array of surface microstructures is coated in a vapor treatment in such a way that shadowing effects of the coating mechanism narrow at least partially a width of the upper parts of side walls of the microstructures thereby forming at least partially embedded microchannels.Field of SearchComposite having voids in a component (e.g., porous, cellular, etc.)With gradual property change within a component Void shape specified (e.g., crushed, flat, round, etc.) Specified thickness of void-containing component (absolute or relative), numerical cell dimension or density Specified thickness of void-containing component (absolute or relative) or numerical cell dimension Composite has more than two layers Of metal MATERIAL DESIGNED TO BE RESPONSIVE TO TEMPERATURE, LIGHT, MOISTURE, ETC.
