Current sensor device having a sense resistor in a re-distribution layer

The electronic device for sensing a current comprises a semiconductor chip comprising a main face, an electronic circuit integrated in the semiconductor chip, a redistribution metallization layer disposed above the main face of the semiconductor chip, a current path formed in the redistribution metallization layer, the current path forming a resistor that is connected at two resistance defining end points to the electronic circuit for sensing a current flowing through the current path, and external contact elements connected with the redistribution metallization layer for feeding a current to be sensed into the current path.
