An integrated-circuit chip includes a first electrical connection are placed on an underlying layer and covered with an intermediate dielectric layer. A second electrical connection is placed on the intermediate dielectric layer and is covered with a superficial dielectric layer. External electrical connection pads are placed on the superficial dielectric layer and extend selectively over the first electrical connection. Vias pass through the superficial dielectric layer and the intermediate dielectric layer to make connection between the first electrical connection and the external electrical connection pads.
