A process for producing electrical contact connections for a component integrated in a substrate material is provided, the substrate material having a first surface region, and at least one terminal contact being arranged at least partially in the first surface region for each component, which is distinguished in particular by application of a covering to the first surface region and production of at least one contact passage which, in the substrate material, runs transversely with respect to the first surface region, in which process, in order to form at least one contact location in a second surface region which is to be provided, at least one electrical contact connection from the contact location to at least one of the terminal contacts is produced via the respective contact passages.

A glass material for producing insulation layers is provided. The glass material can improve the radio-frequency properties of radio-frequency substrates or radio-frequency conductor arrangements. In one embodiment, the glass material for producing insulation layers for radio-frequency substrates or radio-frequency conductor arrangements is an applied layer with a layer thickness in the range between 0.05 &#x3bc;m and 5&#x2033;mm and has a loss factor tan &#x3b4; of less than or equal to 70*10in at least a frequency range above 1 GHz.

Glass material for radio-frequency applications

In order to achieve an integration of functional structures into the housing of electronic components, provision is made of a method for producing an electronic component comprising at least one semiconductor element having at least one sensor-technologically active and/or emitting device on at least one side, the method comprising the following steps: provision of at least one die on a wafer, production of at least one patterned support having at least one structure which is functional for the sensor-technologically active and/or emitting device, joining together of the wafer with the at least one support, so that that side of the die which has the sensor-technologically active and/or emitting device faces the support, separation of the die.

Method for producing electronic components

A process to encapsulate electronic modules in a manner which is substantially resistant to water diffusion yet is carried out at moderate temperatures below 300&#xb0; C., preferably below 150&#xb0; C. is provided. The process forms a housing for electronic modules, in particular sensors, integrated circuits and optoelectronic components. The process includes the steps of: providing a substrate, of which at least a first substrate side is to be encapsulated; providing a vapor-deposition glass source; arranging the first substrate side in such a manner with respect to the vapor-deposition glass source that the first substrate side can be vapor-coated; and vapor-coating the first substrate side with a glass layer.

Process of vapor depositing glass layers for wafer-level hermetic encapsulation of electronic modules

A method for the patterned coating of a substrate with at least one surface is provided. The method is suitable for the rapid and inexpensive production of precise patterns. The method includes the steps of: producing at least one negatively patterned first coating on the at least one surface, depositing at least one second layer, which includes a material with a vitreous structure, on the surface, and at least partially removing the first coating.

Method for the production of structured layers on substrates

The invention provides a process for producing a substrate having a conductor arrangement that is suitable for radio-frequency applications, with improved radio-frequency properties. For this purpose, the process includes the steps of: depositing a structured glass layer having at least one opening over a contact-connection region by evaporation coating on the substrate and applying at least one conductor structure to the structured glass layer so that the at least one conductor has electrical contact with the contact-connection region.

Method for producing a component comprising a conductor structure that is suitable for use at high frequencies

The invention proposes a process for producing electrical contact connections for at least one component which is integrated in a substrate material, the substrate material having a first surface region, and at least one terminal contact being arranged at least partially in the first surface region for each component, which is distinguished in particular by application of a covering to the first surface region and production of at least one contact passage which, in the substrate material, runs transversely with respect to the first surface region, in which process, in order to form at least one contact location in a second surface region which is to be provided, at least one electrical contact connection from the contact location to at least one of the terminal contacts is produced via the respective contact passages. Very advantageously, it is in this way possible for a contact location to be produced on the terminal contact and therefore a contact location which is electrically connected to the terminal contact can be produced on that side of the substrate material which is remote from the active surface, it being possible to dispense both with trenches which run along the substrate material and with a lateral contact which leads around the component in accordance with the prior art.

Processes for producing copy protection for an integrated circuit are provided. To avoid unauthorized copying of an integrated circuit, an effective and reliable copy protection are provided. The process includes the steps of providing a substrate that has semiconductor structures on at least a first side of the substrate, providing a material for coating the substrate, and coating the substrate with a copy-protect layer. In one embodiment, the copy-protect layer is produced by applying a silicate glass by evaporation coating. Thus, an etching process that dissolves the copy-protect layer also attacks the substrate so that the semiconductor structures are at least partially destroyed.

Process for producing copy protection for an electronic circuit

A process for joining substrates having electrical, semiconducting, mechanical and/or optical components, and to a composite element is provided. The process is to be suitable for substrates that are to be joined substantially irrespective of material and for sensitive substrates. According to the process, a raised frame, in particular formed from anodically bondable glass, is applied by evaporation coating to one of the two substrates in order to serve as a joining element.

A method for producing an electronic component is provided.
