A semiconductor component includes flip-chip contacts arranged on a wiring
structure of a semiconductor chip. The wiring structure includes at least
one metallization layer and at least one dielectric insulation layer made
of a low-k material with a relative permittivity .epsilon..sub.r lower
than the relative permittivity of a silicon dioxide. The flip-chip
contacts are arranged on contact areas of an upper metallization layer
and have a polymer core surrounded by a lead-free solder sheath.
