ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor power component using flat conductor technology includes a vertical current path through a semiconductor power chip. The semiconductor power chip includes at least one large-area electrode on its top side and a large-area electrode on its rear side. The rear side electrode is surface-mounted on a flat conductor chip island of a flat conductor leadframe and the top side electrode is electrically connected to an internal flat conductor of the flat conductor leadframe via a connecting element. The connecting element includes a bonding strip extending from the top side electrode to the internal flat conductor and further includes, on the top side of the bonding strip, bonding wires extending from the top side electrode to the internal flat conductor.
