Patent ID: 8143714

Claim:
An integrated circuit, comprising: a carrier substrate; a wiring level above a carrier substrate, wherein the wiring level comprises a first conductor track composed of a first conductive material and a second conductor track composed of the first conductive material; an insulating layer above the wiring level, wherein the insulating layer comprises a first opening in a region of the first conductor track of the wiring level and a second opening in a region of the second conductor track of the wiring level, wherein the insulating layer comprises a first insulating material and the carrier substrate comprises a second insulating material different from the first insulating material, wherein the first insulating material of the insulating layer comprises a soldering resist paste, and wherein the insulating layer comprises a further opening in a region of the first conductor track and a portion of solder is arranged in the further opening on the first conductor track; and a contact bridge composed of a second conductive material, wherein the contact bridge is connected to the first conductor track in a region of the first opening and is connected to the second conductor track in a region of the second opening.
