摘要:
A process for separating electronic devices connected with one another in a body, the process including thinning the side of the body remote from the electronic devices, separating the electronic devices, and testing electrical parameters of the electronic devices after the thinning of the body. The handling of the body is improved by applying to the side of the body containing the electronic devices, prior to the thinning process, an electrically nonconductive auxiliary layer in which respective contact openings are formed above the electronic devices to expose the contact(s) of the respective electronic device.

A process is disclosed for producing spatially patterned components from a body. On the backside of the body, a retardation layer with openings is provided for retarding a removal of the material of the body, and areas of migration-capable material are deposited. The body is subjected to a thermal migration process to form migration regions. Then, in a single material removal step, the components are separated from the body and the migration regions are exposed.

There is disclosed a process for producing electronic devices from a semiconductor wafer. The process comprises forming separation regions with a spatial pattern on the semiconductor wafer to provide separation between electronic devices, and depositing a conductive contact layer on the wafer and patterning the contact layer in such a way that conductive terminals extend from the front side of the wafer over at least part of the cross section of the patterned separation regions. The terminals are bared by removing material of the wafer in the semiconductor regions starting from the backside of the wafer, and the terminals of adjacent electronic devices are separated.

According to a method for producing a solid body (1) including a microstructure (2), the surface of a substrate (3) is provided with a masking layer (6) that is impermeable to a substance to be applied. The substance is then incorporated into the substrate regions not covered by the masking layer (6). A heat treatment is used to diffuse the substance into a substrate region covered by the masking layer (6) such that a concentration gradient of the substance is created in the substrate region covered by the masking layer (6), proceeding from the edge of the masking layer (6) inward with increasing distance from the edge. The masking layer (6) is then removed to expose the substrate region under this layer, and a near-surface layer of the substrate (3) in the exposed substrate region is converted by a chemical conversion reaction into a coating (9) which has a layer thickness profile corresponding to the concentration gradient of the substance contained in this near-surface layer. A supplementary treatment is implemented in a subsection of the coating (9) in which the thickness of the coating (9) is reduced.

A capacitive sensor is described which includes a first electrode remote from a second electrode, wherein the first electrode and the second electrode form a measurement capacitance. The first electrode is arranged on a first substrate member and the second electrode is arranged on a second substrate member. At least one of the electrodes has a spatially resolved structure which allows a spatially resolved measurement of the capacitance. The spatial structure of the electrode may be implemented in form of several mutually parallel stripe-shaped elements or in form of a plurality of spaced-apart elements that are arranged in a two-dimensional pattern. Associated with the electrodes are electronic processing units integrated in the substrate members.
