Abstract:
An integrated circuit configuration, comprising:a semiconductor body having: a rear side; a front side; a first semiconductor zone of a first conductivity type in a region of said rear side; and a second semiconductor zone of said first conductivity type adjoining said first semiconductor zone, said second semiconductor zone doped weaker than said first semiconductor zone and disposed in a region of said front side; a first component region in said semiconductor body having at least one semiconductor zone of a second conductivity type; a second component region in said semiconductor body having at least one semiconductor zone of said second conductivity type; and a conversion structure having a first structure semiconductor zone of said second conductivity type and a second structure semiconductor zone of said first conductivity type, said first structure semiconductor zone and said second structure semiconductor zone being short-circuited and respectively disposed at a distance from said first semiconductor zone in said second semiconductor zone between said first and second component regions and directly adjoin said second semiconductor zone, said conversion structure inhibiting a propagation of minority charge carriers between said first and second component regions.
