    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making an electrical connection between a first (top) and a second (bottom) surface of a conducting or semi-conducting substrate. It comprising creating a trench in the first surface, and establishing an insulating enclosure entirely separating a portion of said substrate, defined by said trench. It also relates to a product usable as a starting substrate for the manufacture of micro-electronic and/or micro-mechanic devices, comprising a flat substrate of a semi-conducting or conducting material, and having a first and a second surface and at least one electrically conducting member extending through said substrate. The electrically conducting member is insulated from surrounding material of the flat substrate by a finite layer of an insulating material, and comprises the same material as the substrate, i.e. it is made from the wafer material.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of making a starting substrate wafer for semiconductor engineering having electrical wafer through connections (140; 192). It comprises providing a wafer (110; 150) having a front side and a back side and having a base of low resistivity silicon and a layer of high resistivity material on the front side. On the wafer there are islands of low resistivity material in the layer of high resistivity material. The islands are in contact with the silicon base material. Trenches are etched from the back side of the wafer but not all the way through the wafer to provide insulating enclosures defining the wafer through connections (140; 192). The trenches are filled with insulating material. Then the front side of the wafer is grinded to expose the insulating material to create the wafer through connections. Also there is provided a wafer substrate for making integrated electronic circuits and/or components, comprising a low resistivity silicon base (110) having a high resistivity top layer (122) suitable for semiconductor engineering, characterized by having low resistivity wafer through connections (140).
