1. A method for coating a structure including at least one semiconductor chip, the method comprising:
applying coating particles to a carrier;
electrostatically charging the coating particles;
electrostatically charging the structure to a polarity opposite to the coating particles;
placing the carrier and the structure in proximity to each other to produce an electrostatic force between the coating particles and the structure such that the coating particles move from the carrier and adhere to an area of the structure to be coated in response to the electrostatic force; and
liquefying the coating particles located on the area of the structure to be coated via heating.
