Claim Text:
1. A semiconductor module comprising: an integrated circuit (IC) device, the IC device embedded in a compound, wherein the compound at least partially extends lateral to the IC device and has a portion coplanar with at least one surface of the IC device; interconnect structures to provide an external electrical contact lateral to the IC device; an antenna structure integrated in the semiconductor module, wherein at least one portion of the antenna structure extends lateral to the IC device; and a layer interfacing the IC device and the compound, wherein the layer comprises first and second metal structures, wherein the first metal structure is provided to electrically connect the IC device to the interconnect structures and the second metal structure is provided to transmit signals transmitted or received by the antenna structure, wherein the first metal structure comprises at least one portion coplanar to the at least one portion of the antenna structure and wherein at least one of the interconnect structures is arranged on the at least one portion of the first metal structure, wherein the layer further comprises a metal bar provided on a side of the antenna structure for directing a radiation to a specific direction.
