    Abstract: A device wafer having a main surface including an edge region and a carrier having a further main surface including an annular surface region corresponding to the edge region of the device wafer are provided. An adhesive is applied in the edge region and/or in the annular surface region, but not on the remaining areas of the main surfaces. The device wafer is fastened to the carrier by the adhesive. The main surface and the further main surface are brought into contact with one another when the device wafer is fastened to the carrier, while the main surface and the further main surface are fastened to one another only in the edge region. The device wafer is removed from the carrier after further process steps, which may include the formation of through-wafer vias in the device wafer.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor body, an electrically conductive via which extends through at least a part of the semiconductor body, and where the via has a top side and a bottom side that faces away from the top side, an electrically conductive etch-stop layer arranged at the bottom side of the via in a plane which is parallel to a lateral direction, where the lateral direction is perpendicular to a vertical direction given by the main axis of extension of the via, and at least one electrically conductive contact layer at the bottom side of the via in a plane which is parallel to the lateral direction. The etch-stop layer is arranged between the electrically conductive via and the contact layer in the vertical direction, the lateral extent in the lateral direction of the etch-stop layer amounts to at least 2.5 times the lateral extent of the via in the lateral direction, and the lateral extent of the contact layer is smaller than the lateral extent of the via or the lateral extent of the contact layer amounts to at least 2.5 times the lateral extent of the via.

    Abstract: A semiconductor substrate (1) is provided on a main surface (14) with an intermetal dielectric (4) including metal planes (5) and on an opposite rear surface (15) with an insulation layer (2) and an electrically conductive connection pad (7). An etch stop layer (6) is applied on the intermetal dielectric to prevent a removal of the intermetal dielectric above the metal planes during subsequent method steps. An opening (9) having a side wall (3) and a bottom (13) is formed from the main surface through the substrate above the connection pad. A side wall spacer (10) is formed on the side wall by a production and subsequent partial removal of a dielectric layer (11). The insulation layer is removed from the bottom to uncover an area of the connection pad. A metal layer is applied in the opening and is provided for an interconnect through the substrate.

    Abstract: The semiconductor device comprises a substrate (1) of semiconductor material, a dielectric layer (2) above the substrate, a waveguide (3) arranged in the dielectric layer, and a mirror region (4) arranged on a surface of a mirror support (5) integrated on the substrate. A mirror is thus formed facing the waveguide. The surface of the mirror support and hence the mirror are inclined with respect to the waveguide.

    Abstract: A dielectric layer (2) is arranged on the main surface (10) of a semiconductor substrate (1), and a passivation layer (6) is arranged on the dielectric layer. A metal layer (3) is embedded in the dielectric layer above an opening (12) in the substrate, and a metallization (14) is arranged in the opening. The metallization contacts the metal layer and forms a through-substrate via to a rear surface (11) of the substrate. A layer or layer sequence (7, 8, 9) comprising at least one further layer is arranged on the passivation layer above the opening. In this way the bottom of the through-substrate via is stabilized. A plug (17) may additionally be arranged in the opening without filling the opening.
