An analytical method is proposed to calculate the free surface deformation induced by an inclusion embedded in a thin slab. The displacement of the free surface has been determined with the help of the 2D Fourier transformation, as well as the momenta of the displacements when they exist. Comparing the deformations induced by the same inclusion in a semi-infinite medium and in a slab, it has been demonstrated that the deformations in the slab are much more localized than in a semi-infinite solid. A simple example is finally given concerning a latent track induced by swift heavy ion going through a solid.
