Patent ID: 8802564

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a semiconductor component by means of the following steps: manufacturing of a wafer, applying structures of components on the wafer to form a wafer assembly, applying a metal coating on the wafer, removing the metal coating in non-contact areas of the components, applying surrounds on the edge areas of the components, arranging the wafer on a foil held by a clamping ring, separating the components of the wafer compound carried by the foil from one another, arranging a covering mask on the areas of the separated components carried by the foil which are not to be coated, applying a metal coating on the separate components covered with the mask, removal of the mask, and removal of the components from the foil and further processing the separate components, wherein applying a metal coating on the separate components covered by the mask takes place by means of thermal spraying, the thermal spraying occurring by means of nano-powder plasma depositing.
