Abstract: A power semiconductor component is specified, having a power semiconductor device arranged within a housing, wherein a heat sink is exposed on a first surface of the housing; a wiring substrate which receives the housing with the power semiconductor device and which has a first main surface and a second main surface. A heat dissipation region with increased thermal conductivity is arranged on the second main surface. The housing is arranged on the wiring substrate in such a way that the heat sink is connected to the heat dissipation region via a solder layer. A number of spacers which are arranged between the heat sink and the heat dissipation region are embedded in the solder layer. Furthermore, a method for producing a power semiconductor component is specified.
