Abstract:
A chip element, comprising:a semiconductor chip for electrically conductively contact-connecting a connection plane in which contact areas are formed, said semiconductor chip having sides, said semiconductor chip having contact-connection points; an electrically insulating protective layer located on at least one of said sides of said semiconductor chip, said electrically insulating protective layer having a surface that is remote from said semiconductor chip; pads formed on said surface of said electrically insulating protective layer that is remote from said semiconductor chip; and flip-chip bumps electrically conductively connecting said pads to said contact-connection points of said semiconductor chip; said semiconductor chip and said electrically insulating protective layer capable of being configured such that said pads are first on the connection plane and such that said pads can electrically conductively contact-connect said semiconductor chip to the contact areas; said electrically insulating protective layer being applied only around said semiconductor chip; said flip-chip bumps extending through said electrically insulating protective layer; each one of said flip-chip bumps having an end that is remote from said semiconductor chip; said end of each one of said flip-chip bumps forming a pad lying approximately plane-parallel in said surface of said electrically insulating protective layer that is remote from said semiconductor chip; and said electrically insulating protective layer being a covering compound.
