Patent ID: 7190059

Claim:
A method for producing an electronic component, which comprises: providing a rewiring substrate with a central area having connecting pads for forming flipchip connections, and providing the rewiring substrate with edge areas having connecting pads for bonding connections; providing a first lower electronic module formed as a semiconductor chip; using flipchip technology to apply the lower electronic module to the central area of the rewiring substrate; providing at least one second upper electronic module including a semiconductor chip and a rewiring structure with external contact surfaces and an intermediate substrate, the rewiring structure being disposed on an active surface of the semiconductor chip; applying a passive rear face of the upper electronic module on a passive rear face of the lower electronic module; producing bonding connections between the external contact surfaces of the upper electronic module and the connecting pads in the edge areas of the rewiring substrate; covering a portion of the rewiring structure and a portion of the intermediate substrate with a protective sheath; and packaging the upper electronic module and the lower electronic module and applying a plastic packaging compound to the rewiring substrate.
