Patent ID: 7772105

Claim:
A method for producing a semiconductor component with a plastic housing including outer interconnects that electrically connect lower outer contact surfaces and upper outer contact surfaces, the method comprising: producing a semiconductor component with a plastic housing that embeds the semiconductor component such that the plastic housing extends over upper and lower outer surfaces of the semiconductor component; producing a structure of conduction paths on plastic outer surfaces of the plastic housing along an outer contour of the plastic housing between the lower outer contact surfaces and the upper outer contact surfaces, the conduction paths being isolated from one another by regions of plastic of the plastic housing and being wettable by liquid solder material; applying solder deposits to the upper outer contact surfaces; liquefying the solder material of the solder deposits so as to wet and coat the conductions paths with solder material to form outer interconnects between the lower outer contact surfaces and the upper outer contact surfaces; and admixing particles that are wettable by liquid solder material to a plastic compound to produce a structure of the conduction paths that is wettable by liquid solder material.
