Patent ID: 8279615

Claim:
A method for producing an encapsulation module and/or for encapsulating a micromechanical arrangement, comprising the steps of: forming electronic connection means from a blank of electrically conductive semiconductor material, by means of one or more structuring processes and/or etching processes, wherein, in the course of forming the electronic connection means, a pedestal of the semiconductor material arises, on which the electronic connection means are arranged, embedding the electronic connection means within an embedding material; removing the embedding material and/or the semiconductor pedestal after the embedding step to an extent such that a defined number of the electronic connection means have electrical contacts on at least one outer surface of the encapsulation module thus produced, wherein in the course of forming the electronic connection means, by means of the at least one structuring and/or etching process, on the pedestal of the semiconductor material, at least one insular material hump is formed, on which a plated-through hole is arranged in, and which embodies a semiconductor electrode.
