Abstract:
An electronic device is formed on a chip (11) of semiconductor material covered by a layer (12) of insulating material. Metal interconnection elements form, on the insulating layer (12), connection pads (13) to which a soldering material (14) is applied. To permit good heat dissipation, the device has a metal plate (30) partially incorporated in the insulating layer (12) and having a surface which is coplanar with the pads (13) and to which soldering material is applied (31).
