A semiconductor package comprises a substrate which includes a plurality of conducting traces and upper contact areas on its upper surface and a second plurality of lower conductive traces and external contact areas on its bottom surface and external conducting members attached to the external contact areas. The semiconductor package also includes a semiconductor die comprising an active surface with a plurality of die contact pads, electrically connected to the contact areas of the substrate by conducting members. A support layer between the conducting members on the active surface of the semiconductor die covers at least the base portion of the conducting members. A method relates to the production of the semiconductor package.
