Abstract

Two electrical components 1 and 2 containing electric conductor lines 3 and 4 are interconnected in that one component 2 comprises silicon contact fingers 5 and a back part 6 made of silicon and carrying the fingers 5. Fingers 5 and back part 6 preferably represent an integer component of an integrated circuit provided on a monocrystalline substrate and to be connected to other electrical components. Fingers 5 and back part 6 are preferably made in accordance with micromechanical silicon semiconductor technology.
