Claim Text:
1. A connecting element for a multi-chip module, the connecting element being provided for realizing an electrical connection between a plurality of elements, the connecting element comprising: a carrier; an insulation layer made of a radiation-transmissive material; a first electrically conductive connecting structure, wherein the first connecting structure is designed in such a way that it connects first and second elements to one another; and a second electrically conductive connecting structure, wherein the second connecting structure is designed in such a way that it connects third and fourth elements to one another, wherein the first and second connecting structures extend on the carrier in a crossed fashion, wherein the first connecting structure has a first and a second contact location, which are connected to one another by a first conductor track, wherein the second connecting structure has a first and a second contact location, which are connected to one another by a second conductor track, wherein the first contact locations of the first and second connecting structures are arranged on a first main surface and the second contact locations of the first and second connecting structures are arranged on a second main surface, which is situated opposite the first main surface, wherein the insulation layer is arranged on the first main surface so that the first connecting structure is partly covered by the insulation layer, the first connecting structure is electrically insulated toward an outside of the connecting element by the insulation layer, the insulation layer is opened in a region of the first contact location of the first connecting structure and in a region of the first contact location of the second connecting structure so that the two contact locations are contactable from the outside, and wherein the carrier comprises openings extending from the first main surface to the second main surface, the openings are filled with an electrically conductive material forming an electrical connection between the first and the second main surfaces, the openings are arranged along side surfaces of connecting element, the electrically conductive material of the openings forms a part of the first and second conductor tracks which is arranged on a side surface of the carrier.
