Patent ID: 6851598

Claim:
A method for producing an electronic component, which comprises the steps of: providing a semiconductor chip having an active upper side and a passive rear side; applying a wiring layer to the active upper side of the semiconductor chip; applying elastic contact elements to one of the semiconductor chip and the wiring layer; producing bonding contacts from contact areas on the active upper side of the semiconductor chip to contact terminal areas on a rear side of the wiring layer, facing away from the active upper side of the semiconductor chip; and applying at least two spacers to outer edges of one of the semiconductor chip and the wiring layer, the spacers outlining an area the elastic contact elements lying within the area outlined by the spacers, the spacers being substantially non-elastic and mechanically connected to a printed circuit board; placing both the contact elements and the spacers directly between the chip and the printed circuit board, the spacers not being included in electrical connections of the electronic component, and the spacers being exceeded in height by the elastic contact elements in a relaxed state.
