Abstract
A method of forming contacts between at least one metallic layer and at least one semiconductor substrate through at least one layer of dielectric in a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes, on at least one base face of the semiconductor substrate, the dielectric layer. The metallic layer is stacked on the dielectric layer. The heated ends of plural protruding elements assembled on a support are brought into contact with the metallic layer simultaneously, thereby creating zones of melted metal under the heated ends of the protruding elements. The melted metal traverses the dielectric and amalgamates with the semiconductor of the substrate at the level of the zones of melted metal, thereby creating the contacts.
