Patent ID: 8044523

Claim:
A semiconductor device with a semiconductor chip, comprising: a terminal contact formed in one piece; an insulator layer; a patterned metallization layer comprising a plurality of metallization portions, the patterned metallization layer having a thickness between 10 μm and 100 μm, wherein the plurality of metallization portions are separated from one another by the insulator layer to form a composite shape having a desired pattern and are electrically conductively connected to the terminal contact; and a patterned connecting layer successively arranged with the patterned metallization layer and comprising a plurality of connecting portions, wherein the plurality of connecting portions are arranged relative to one another to form a composite shape having the desired pattern so that each connecting portion aligns with a corresponding metallization portion such that the patterned metallization layer and the patterned connecting layer form an electrically conducting contact layer, wherein the semiconductor chip is configured for flip-chip mounting, wherein the terminal contact is arranged on a side of the electrically conducting contact layer facing the semiconductor chip, wherein the patterned metallization layer has successively arranged planar sub-layers, sidewalls of each sub-layer aligned with sidewalls of each other sub-layer and the sidewalls of each sub-layer perpendicular to the terminal contact, and wherein of two sub-layers respectively adjacent each other, one has a melting point of less than or equal to 400° C. and the other has a melting point of over 400° C.
