A semiconductor device with plastic housing composition includes an internal wiring that is electrically insulated from the plastic housing composition by an insulation layer. The plastic housing composition has a high thermal conductivity and a low coefficient of expansion, the coefficient of expansion being adapted to the semiconductor chip of the semiconductor device. This is achieved by forming the plastic housing composition with electrically semiconducting and/or electrically conducting filler particles. In particular, this plastic housing composition is advantageously used for semiconductor devices with flip-chip contacts and/or for semiconductor devices which are constructed according to the “universal packaging concept”.
