Patent ID: 8629549

Claim:
A carrier body for a semiconductor component, comprising an electrically conductive conductor layer and a connecting layer, which are connected to one another via main areas facing one another, wherein the connecting layer is completely electrically conductive and is electrically insulated at least from parts of the conductor layer or the connecting layer is electrically insulating at least in parts, wherein the conductor layer, the connecting layer or both the conductor layer and the connecting layer has/have at least one thinned region in which the layer thickness of said layer(s) is less than the maximum layer thickness of said layer(s), wherein both the conductor layer and the connecting layer each have at least one thinned region in which the layer thickness of said layers is less than the maximum layer thickness of said layers, and, in particular, the thinned region of the conductor layer laterally overlaps the thinned region of the connecting layer.
