Patent ID: 7342320

Claim:
An electronic component, comprising: a semiconductor chip having an active front face, a passive rear face, and at least one side face with a surface; at least one insulating layer disposed on said active front face, said at least one insulating layer including regions of a silicon dioxide layer and regions of a polyimide layer, said regions of a silicon dioxide layer being in direct contact with said active front face and said regions of a polyimide layer being in direct contact with said regions of a silicon dioxide layer; an array of structured conductive tracks disposed in direct contact with said regions of a polyimide layer of said at least one insulating layer for providing an electrical connection between said active front face and said passive rear face, said conductive tracks being applied on said surface of said at least one side face; contact elements including contact surfaces connected to said conductive tracks and contact studs disposed on said conductive tracks on said active front face, said contact surfaces being disposed on said passive rear face; said active front face including an edge angle of around 63° to said at least one side face; said regions of a silicon dioxide layer acting as an etch stop; said regions of a polyimide layer for protecting said active front face of the semiconductor chip; and said regions of a silicon dioxide layer and said regions of a polyimide layer including holes therethrough, extending to said active front face, said holes being filled by a contact providing, electrical connection to external contacts in the form of contact studs.
