1. An electronic component, comprising:
- a semiconductor chip having an active front side and a passive rear side without semiconductor structures;
a wiring board having a first side connected by soldering connections to said active front side of said semiconductor chip and having interconnect structures at least on a second side facing away from said semiconductor chip;
a package completely enclosing said first side of said wiring board;
a cooling element having a central area and clearances with a straight-sided V-shaped funnel cross section widening in an upward direction formed therein and being integrated in said package, said central area thickening and reaching toward said semiconductor chip, said package being form-lockingly engaged by a dovetail connection in said clearances; and
a connecting layer connecting said central area of said cooling element and said passive rear side of said semiconductor chip so that said central area of said cooling element is not separated from said semiconductor chip by material of said package.

Abstract
An electronic component includes at least one semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip is attached on a first side of a wiring board or a leadframe. The wiring board is provided with interconnect structures at least on a second side. The first side of the wiring board, with the semiconductor chip located on it, is completely enclosed by a package. The package is provided with a cooling element, which is an integral part of the package. The invention also relates to a method for producing the electronic component.
