A semiconductor package is described which meets a plurality of predetermined electrical, mechanical, chemical and/or environmental requirements. The semiconductor package includes a semiconductor die embedded in or covered by a molded plastic body, the molded plastic body satisfying only a subset of the plurality of predetermined electrical, mechanical, chemical and/or environmental requirements. The semiconductor package further includes a plurality of terminals protruding from the molded plastic body and electrically connected to the semiconductor die, and a coating applied to at least part of the molded plastic body and/or part of the plurality of terminals. The coating satisfies each predetermined electrical, mechanical, chemical and/or environmental requirement not satisfied by the molded plastic body.
