An advantageous method and system for realizing electrically very reliable and mechanically extremely stable vias for components whose functionality is realized in a layer construction on a conductive substrate. The via (Vertical Interconnect Access), which is led to the back side of the component and which is used for the electrical contacting of functional elements realized in the layer construction, includes a connection area in the substrate that extends over the entire thickness of the substrate and is electrically insulated from the adjoining substrate by a trench-like insulating frame likewise extending over the entire substrate thickness. According to the present system, the trench-like insulating frame is filled up with an electrically insulating polymer.

Component having a via and method for manufacturing it

A method is described for filling cavities in wafers, the cavities being open to a predetermined surface of the wafer, including the following steps: applying a lacquer-like filling material to the predetermined surface of the wafer; heating the wafer at a first temperature; driving out gas bubbles enclosed in the filling material by heating the wafer under vacuum at a second temperature which is equal to or higher than the first temperature; and curing the filling material by heating the wafer at a third temperature which is higher than the second temperature. Furthermore, also described is a blind hole filled using such a method and general 3D cavities as well as a wafer having insulation trenches of a silicon via filled using such a method.

Method for filling cavities in wafers, correspondingly filled blind hole and wafer having correspondingly filled insulation trenches

A method is provided for producing a micromechanical component and a micromechanical component is provided, particularly a microphone, a micro-loudspeaker or a pressure sensor (an absolute pressure sensor or a relative pressure sensor) having a substrate and having a diaphragm pattern, for the production of the diaphragm pattern, process steps being provided that are compatible only with a circuit that is monolithically integrated into or on the substrate, a sacrificial pattern applied onto the substrate being removed for the production of the diaphragm pattern.

Method for producing a micromechanical component and mircomechanical component

A micromechanical structure and a method for producing a micromechanical structure are provided, the micromechanical structure being configured for receiving and/or generating acoustic signals in a medium at least partially surrounding the structure. The structure includes a first counterelement that has first openings and essentially forms a first side of the structure, a second counterelement that has second openings and essentially forms a second side of the structure, and an essentially closed diaphragm disposed between the first counterelement and the second counterelement.
