Abstract

The invention relates to a method for structuring a nitride layer (), comprising the following steps: A) providing a nitride layer () formed with silicon nitride of a first type, B) defining regions () of said nitride layer () to be transformed, and C) inserting the nitride layer () into a transformation chamber for the duration of a transformation period, said transformation period being selected such that—at least 80% of the nitride layer () regions () to be transformed are transformed into oxide regions () formed with silicon oxide, and—remaining nitride layer () regions () remain at least 80% untransformed.
