1. A chemical reactor implemented on a substrate, the chemical reactor comprising:
multiple ducts for transporting a fluid and/or gas during use of the chemical reactor; and
at least one connection duct connected between two of the multiple ducts for transporting the fluid and/or gas from one duct to another,
wherein, in the connection duct, a series of individual pillar structures are positioned behind each other in a longitudinal direction of the connection duct so that for each transverse section perpendicular to an average direction of flow in the connection duct, at most one full pillar structure occurs.
