Patent ID: 7482198

Claim:
A method for producing through-contacts through a panel-shaped composite body including at least one semiconductor chip and a plastic mass, the method comprising: producing the panel-shaped composite body including, on an upper side, a coplanar face with an active upper side of the at least one semiconductor chip and surfaces of an insulating plastic mass comprising conductive particles; introducing the panel-shaped composite body between at least two high-voltage point electrodes; orienting the at least two high-voltage point electrodes on the surface and on an underside of the panel-shaped composite body such that tips of corresponding ones of the at least two high-voltage point electrodes are disposed opposite one another at positions for through-contacts to be manufactured through the plastic mass; applying a high voltage to the oriented at least two high-voltage point electrodes; switching off the high voltage; and removing the through-contacted, panel-shaped composite body from between the at least two high-voltage point electrodes.
