Patent ID: 8916079

Claim:
A method for producing an electronic component, comprising: providing at least one carrier element including a microcomponent receptacle configured for contacting at least one microcomponent; injection molding a housing around the carrier element such that the microcomponent receptacle is situated in a cavity of the housing, wherein the cavity is open on least on one side; introducing the at least one microcomponent into the microcomponent receptacle situated in the cavity in order to contact the at least one microcomponent to the carrier element; and injecting a filler material into the cavity in order to fix the at least one microcomponent in the housing and in the microcomponent receptacle; wherein the method is performed using a multi-part injection molding die including a first tool part having a first injection molding cavity, a second tool part having a second injection molding cavity, and a cavity slide, wherein the first injection molding cavity and the second injection molding cavity together determine an outer shape of the housing, and wherein during the injection molding of the housing around the carrier element, the cavity slide extends into at least one of the first and second injection molding cavities to define the cavity of the housing; and wherein for the introduction of the microcomponent into the microcomponent receptacle, the housing remains in the first tool part, and the second tool part and the cavity slide are set apart from the housing.
