Abstract
An integrated circuit chip has a dielectric surface layer and, below this layer, internal pads. The chip is fabricated by producing multiplicities of vias made of an electrically conducting material which pass through said surface layer and are positioned respectively above the internal pads. Projecting external contact pads are formed on the surface layer and connected respectively to the multiplicities of vias.
