Semiconductor element used in a chip card in the pay-per-view television sector comprises a chip, and a device for deactivating the chip consisting of a hollow chamber containing an activator

摘要

Semiconductor element comprises a chip (10) having an active main side (11) with components and a lower side (12) by which the chip is connected to a support (30); and a device for deactivating the chips consisting of a hollow chamber (13) containing an activator (14). An Independent claim is also included for a process for the production of a semiconductor element. Preferred Features: The hollow chamber is arranged below the active main side within the chips and has a lateral extension parallel to the active main side and lower side of the chips. The hollow chamber is provided in a trenched oxide layer of the chips.
