A semiconductor power package includes a pre-molded chip housing and an electrically conducting chip carrier cast-in-place in the pre-molded chip housing. The semiconductor power package further includes a power semiconductor chip bonded on the electrically conducting chip carrier. A covering material is provided to embed the power semiconductor chip. The covering material has an elastic modulus less than an elastic modulus of a material of the pre-molded chip housing and/or a thermal conductivity greater than a thermal conductivity of the material of the pre-molded chip housing and/or a temperature stability greater than a temperature stability of the pre-molded chip housing.
