Abstract: The invention relates to a functional chip (100) of which at least two electrical connection pads (11a, 11b) are intended for being connected to wire elements (40a, 40b). Said chip comprises: —a substrate (10) comprising a microelectronic component electrically connected to the two electrical connection pads arranged on a front face of said substrate (10), —a cover (20) comprising a first portion (21) assembled to the front face of the substrate (10), said first portion (21) forming a spacer between the two electrical connection pads; the cover (20) further comprising a second portion (22) spaced apart from the front face of the substrate (10) and extending opposite each electrical connection pad only partially, so as to allow access to said pads, along an axis (z) normal to the front face of the substrate (10). The invention likewise relates to a method for manufacturing such a functional chip.
