Patent ID: 7176582

Claim:
A semiconductor device comprising a carrier with a first and a second side situated opposite to each other, which carrier has a first electroconductive layer of the first side, the first electroconductive layer is patterned in accordance with a desired pattern, thereby defining a number of mutually isolated connection conductors separated by apertures, on which first side of the carrier a semiconductor element is present, which semiconductor element is provided with connection regions that are electroconductively connected via connection means with the connection conductors of the carrier, which semiconductor element is encapsulated in a passivating envelope that extends as far as the second side of the carrier, but does not cover the second side of the carrier: on which second side, contact surfaces are defined in the connection conductors for placement on a substrate, characterized in that the envelope is mechanically anchored in the connection conductors, for which purpose the connection conductors are provided with side faces having recesses.
