Patent ID: 7199476

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: a first metallic conductor part; a second metallic conductor part; a semiconductor chip disposed between the first and second metallic conductor parts and having mutually opposing first and second contact sides; a first solid soldering-agent layer disposed between the first contact side and the first metallic conductor part; a second soldering-agent layer having a softening temperature and disposed between the second contact side and the second metallic conductor part; and a flow off protection device laterally bounding the second soldering-agent layer, wherein the first contact side is electroconductively surface-bonded via the first, solid soldering-agent layer to the first metallic conductor part, and the second contact side is electroconductively surface-bonded via the second soldering-agent layer to the second metallic conductor part, and wherein the softening temperature of the second soldering-agent layer is adapted to an operating temperature occuring in the second soldering-agent layer during operation of the device so that the second soldering agent layer is at one of a doughy state and a liquid state at the operating temperature.
