Claim Text:
1. An electronic component, comprising: a housing; a die pad having a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface; a first high voltage semiconductor device and a second high voltage semiconductor device, both arranged on the first surface of the die pad, wherein the first high voltage semiconductor device and the second high voltage semiconductor device are configured to provide a half-bridge circuit; a further semiconductor device arranged on the second surface of the die pad; and a conductive connection between the first high voltage semiconductor device and the further semiconductor device surrounded by the housing and comprising a portion arranged adjacent the die pad, wherein the first high voltage semiconductor device is a high voltage vertical MOSFET device with a source electrode and a gate arranged on a first surface and a drain electrode arranged on the opposite surface, the source electrode being mounted on and electrically coupled to the first surface of the die pad, wherein the first high voltage semiconductor device includes at least one conductive via which extends from the gate of the transistor device to a gate electrode on the opposite surface, the gate electrode being coupled to the conductive connection.
