7. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the covering is attached without a gap to the top side of the component.
8. The arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an adhesive between the covering and the top side of the component and/or the frame to attach the covering to the top side of the component and/or to the frame.
9. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the covering has at least one aperture.
10. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the covering covers substantially the entire top side of the component.
11. The arrangement according to claim 10 , wherein the covering is attached substantially to the entire top side of the component.
12. The arrangement according to claim 10 , further comprising:
a thermally conductive adhesive or a thermally and electrically conductive adhesive between the covering and the top side of the component to attach the covering to the top side of the component.
13. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the covering does not cover a portion of the top side of the component, the portion being spaced from a border of the top side of the component.
14. The arrangement according to claim 13 , wherein the top side of the component, at least in the portion to which the covering is not attached, is electrically conductively formed and is in electrical contact with the covering.
15. The arrangement according to claim 13 , further comprising:
an electrically conductive adhesive or an electrically and thermally conductive adhesive between the covering and the top side of the component to attach the covering to the top side of the component.
16. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the top side of the frame is configured as a flange extending from side faces of the frame in the first plane.
17. The arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a lid arranged on the frame, wherein border portions of the covering are arranged between the frame and the lid.
18. The arrangement according to claim 17 , wherein the lid has an opening at least in the region of the component.
19. The arrangement according to claim 17 , wherein the lid has side faces which lie against side faces of the frame, the side faces of the frame extending substantially perpendicular to the first plane.
20. The arrangement according to claim 17 , wherein the lid is configured to clamp the covering to the at least one portion of the frame to electrically conductively attach the covering to the frame.
21. The arrangement according to claim 1 , further comprising a heat sink which is arranged above the component and is in thermal contact with the component.
