A metal frame encloses the connection pads of the mounting location. A MEMS chip has electrical contacts on an underside. The MEMS chip is placed on the mounting location of the carrier substrate in such a way that the MEMS chip is seated with an edge region of its underside on the metal frame.

Abstract: What is proposed is a preferably surface mounted electrical component with sensitive component structures which are arranged on the front side of two substrates. The substrates are joined with their front sides facing each other in such a manner that a cavity will remain for the component structures. The outer electrical connections for all component structures are located on the surface of one of the two substrates, in particular on the back side of the upper, or on the front side of the lower substrate. Between the two substrates there is a suitably structured intermediate layer which is used both as a spacer and also for sealing of the housing of the cavity.

Abstract: For hermetic encapsulation of a component, which includes a chip with component structures applied on a substrate in a flip-chip construction, a material is applied onto the lower edge of the chip and regions of the substrate abutting the chip, and then a first continuous metal layer is applied on the back side of the chip and on the material, as well as on edge regions of the substrate abutting the material. For hermetic encapsulation, a second sealing metal layer is subsequently applied by a solvent-free process at least on those regions of the first metal layer that cover the material.
