One aspect of the invention relates to a shielding device for shielding from electromagnetic radiation, including a shielding base element, a shielding cover element and a shielding lateral element for electrically connecting the base element to the cover element in such that a circuit part to be shielded is arranged within the shielding elements. Since at least one partial section of the shielding elements includes a semiconductor material, a shielding device can be realized completely and cost-effectively in an integrated circuit.

A structure and method of forming through substrate vias in forming semiconductor components are described. In one embodiment, the invention describes a method of forming the through substrate via by filling an opening with a first fill material and depositing a first insulating layer over the first fill material, the first insulating layer not being deposited on sidewalls of the fill material in the opening, wherein sidewalls of the first insulating layer form a gap over the opening. The method further includes forming a void by sealing the opening using a second insulating layer.

Through substrate features in semiconductor substrates

A method for manufacturing a micromechanical sound transducer includes depositing successive layers of first and second membrane support material on a first main surface of a substrate arrangement with a first etching rate and a lower second etching rate, respectively. A layer of membrane material is then deposited. A cavity is created in the substrate arrangement from a side of the substrate arrangement opposite to the membrane support materials and the membrane material at least until the cavity extends to the layer of first membrane support material. The layers of first and second membrane support material are etched by applying an etching agent through the cavity in at least one first region located in an extension of the cavity also in a second region surrounding the first region. The etching creates a tapered surface on the layer of second membrane support material in the second region. The etching continues at least until the layer of second membrane support material has been removed in the first region to expose the layer of membrane material.
