Abstract
A method for exposing side surfaces of a semiconductor body is disclosed. In an embodiment a method includes providing the semiconductor body having a laterally extending first main surface, forming a plurality of vertical side surfaces by partially removing material of the semiconductor body and thereby removing the first main surface in places, wherein each of the side surfaces forms an angle (α) between 110° and 160° inclusive with the remaining first main surface, applying a protective layer onto the semiconductor body so that, in a plan view, the protective layer completely covers the remaining first main surface and the obliquely formed side surfaces and partially removing the protective layer so that the protective layer is removed in regions on the obliquely formed side surfaces because of an inclination and remains at least partially preserved in regions on the remaining first main surface during a common process operation.
