1. A method for fabricating a semiconductor arrangement comprising:
providing a lower semiconductor component with a topmost, patterned metallization;
depositing a passivation layer;
patterning the passivation layer by means of photolithography and a first etching step;
depositing a polyimide layer;
opening the polyimide layer in a contact pad region by means of photolithography;
fixing an upper semiconductor component on the passivation layer; and
sheathing the semiconductor arrangement with a molding composition, wherein after patterning, the passivation layer essentially remains only in the region below the upper semiconductor component.
