Abstract:
1. A semiconductor device comprising: a semiconductor chip comprising a through-connection extending between a first main face of the semiconductor chip and a second main face of the semiconductor chip opposite the first main face; encapsulation material encapsulating the semiconductor chip and extending beyond lateral dimensions of the semiconductor chip and having a first main surface parallel with and adjacent to the first main face and a second main surface parallel with and adjacent to the second main face ; and a first metal layer disposed over the first main surface of the encapsulation material and connected with the through-connection; a second metal layer disposed over the second main surface of the encapsulation material and connected with the through-connection such that the first metal layer is disposed adjacent to the first main face and the second metal layer is disposed adjacent to the second main face; and at least one through-mold connection extending through the encapsulating material from the first main surface to the second main surface in a region of the encapsulation material beyond the lateral dimensions of the semiconductor chip, the at least one through-mold connection connected between the first and second metal layers.
