Abstract
A semiconductor housing is provided that includes a metal support and a semiconductor body, a bottom side thereof being connected to the metal support. The semiconductor body has metal surfaces that are connected to pins by bond wires and a plastic compound, which completely surrounds the bond wires and partially surrounds the semiconductor body. The plastic compound has an opening on the top side of the semiconductor body, and a barrier is formed on the top side of the semiconductor body. The barrier has a top area and a base area spaced from the edges of the semiconductor body and an internal clearance of the barrier determines a size of the opening. Whereby, a portion of the plastic compound has a height greater than the barrier, and a fixing layer is formed between the base area of the barrier and the top side of the semiconductor body.
