A method for producing a semiconductor package includes providing a lead frame and a bond pad with a space therebetween. The frame is provided with a die bonded thereon and a die pad. The die, the pad, a part of the frame, a part of the bond pad and the space between the frame and the bond pad are encapsulated. Part of the first encapsulation is removed to create a cavity having a bottom surface including an exposed surface of the die, an exposed surface of the pad, an exposed surface of the bond pad and a connecting region between the exposed surface of the pad and the bond pad. The cavity is partly filled with an electrically conductive paste. The electrically conductive paste is cured to obtain an interconnect between the die pad and the bond pad. The interconnect is encapsulated.

The invention relates to a method for electrically contacting a component (10) (for example a power component and/or a (semiconductor) component having at least one transistor, preferably an IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistor)) having at least one contact (40, 50), at least one open-pored contact piece (60, 70) is galvanically (electrochemically or free of external current) connected to at least one contact (40, 50). In this way, a component module is achieved. The contact (40, 50) is preferably a flat part or has a contact surface, the largest planar extent thereof being greater than an extension of the contact (40, 50) perpendicular to said contact surface.
