A method for producing MEMS components comprises generating a carrier having a plurality of recesses. An adhesive structure is arranged on the carrier and in the recesses. A semiconductor wafer is generated, which has a plurality of MEMS structures arranged at the first main surface of the semiconductor wafer. The adhesive structure is attached to the first main surface of the semiconductor wafer, with the recesses being arranged above the MEMS structures and the adhesive structure not contacting the MEMS structures. The semiconductor wafer is singulated into a plurality of MEMS components by applying a mechanical dicing process.

Method with mechanical dicing process for producing MEMS components

A method of processing a semiconductor wafer includes: forming a first metal layer or metal layer stack on a backside of the semiconductor wafer; forming a plating preventative layer on the first metal layer or metal layer stack, the plating preventative layer being formed at least over a kerf region of the semiconductor wafer and such that part of the first metal layer or metal layer stack is uncovered by the plating preventative layer, wherein the kerf region defines an area for dividing the semiconductor wafer along the kerf region into individual semiconductor dies; and plating a second metal layer or metal layer stack on the part of the first metal layer or metal layer stack uncovered by the plating preventative layer, wherein the plating preventative layer prevents plating of the second metal layer or metal layer stack over the kerf region.
