  • Patent number: 10020285
    Abstract: A method of producing a semiconductor device is provided. The method includes: providing a semiconductor wafer, the wafer including an upper layer of a semiconductor material, an inner etch stop layer and a lower layer; forming a plurality of functional areas in the upper layer; performing a selective first etch process on the upper layer so as to separate the plurality of functional areas from each other by trenches etched through the upper layer, the first etch process being substantially stopped by the inner etch stop layer; and removing the lower layer by a second etch process, the second etch process being substantially stopped by the inner etch stop layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7456495
    Abstract: An electronic semiconductor module component with a semiconductor stack includes semiconductor components arranged in a vertically stacked relationship. A basic semiconductor component includes a lower interposing unit, on which lower external contact pads are arranged. The basic semiconductor component further includes an upper interposing unit, on which upper external contact pads are arranged. The two interposing units are electrically connected to one another via bonding connections disposed at their edge areas. The basic semiconductor component is a compact component on which different, customer-specific semiconductor components can be stacked.
