Patent ID: 7589403

Claim:
A lead structure for a semiconductor component, the lead structure comprising: a plastic housing composition; external leads configured to be externally connected to outside the plastic housing composition; internal leads configured to be electrically connected to within the plastic housing composition, the internal leads including contact pads; a chip mounting island comprising lead material, the chip mounting island being configured to apply a semiconductor chip; and a plurality of nanotubes anchored on top sides of the chip mounting island and the internal leads, the plurality of nanotubes being arranged with interspaces between nanotubes and such that the contact pads of the internal leads are free of nanotubes; and an adhesive composition arranged in the interspaces between the nanotubes anchored on the chip mounting island, the adhesive composition filling the interspaces in a manner free of voids; wherein the plastic housing composition is arranged in the interspaces between the nanotubes anchored on the internal leads, the plastic housing composition filling the interspaces in a manner free of voids.
