Patent ID: 8906750

Claim:
A method of encapsulating at least one microcomponent positioned on a first face of a substrate and/or in the substrate, comprising: a) production of at least one electrical contact pad on the first face of the substrate; b) production of at least one portion of sacrificial material covering at least the microcomponent and at least a part of the electrical contact pad; c) production of at least one thick encapsulation layer covering the portion of sacrificial material, and at least a part of the first face of the substrate; d) production, through a second face, opposite the first face, of the substrate of at least one first hole aligned at least partially with the electrical contact pad, and emerging at the portion of sacrificial material; e) elimination of the portion of sacrificial material through the first hole; f) production, at least in the first hole, of at least one portion of electrically conductive material electrically connected to the electrical contact pad, forming a first conductive via.
