Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device which is suitable for surface mounting and which includes a semiconductor body comprising an active element provided with connection regions situated at the surface of the semiconductor body, an electrically insulating layer being provided, on one of its sides, with a conductor pattern which is suitable for surface mounting, and, on the other side, with the semiconductor body, the connection regions of the active element being connected to the conductor pattern by means of electrically conductive vias in the insulating layer, the method including the steps of: forming the conductor pattern and the insulating layer using a flexible foil, wherein the flexible foil originally comprises a conductive layer and an electrically insulating layer, and wherein the conductor pattern is formed from the conductive layer of the flexible foil and the insulating layer is formed from the electrically insulating layer of the flexible foil; and detachably securing the flexible foil to a substrate on the side of the conductor pattern.
