Among other things, the invention concerns an apparatus for securing a product against forgery, the apparatus including a microchip with an integrated circuit that may be read out in a contactless manner, a first metallization layer arranged on a first chip side of the microchip, and a second metallization layer arranged on a second chip side opposite to the first chip side. The first and second metallization layers are each electrically coupled to the integrated circuit and function as electrodes for a capacitive readout of the integrated circuit. The microchip is fixable to the product or integrable into the product. The invention further concerns the use of a microchip as a security feature in a product as well as a method for securing a product against forgery.

Apparatus and method for securing a product against forgery

A method for manufacturing a semiconductor device package includes providing an electrically insulating film having film terminal contacts on a surface thereof, and an opening therethrough. A semiconductor device arrangement at least including a carrier element having arranged thereon a projecting element and element terminal contacts is deposited on the film, wherein the projecting element is introduced into the opening and the element terminal contacts are arranged in contact with the film terminal contacts. The planarization layer is deposited over the carrier element and the film.
