Abstract:
1. A semiconductor component comprising: a doped first semiconductor zone of a first conduction type, a doped second semiconductor zone of a second conduction type, which adjoins the first semiconductor zone and is doped more weakly than the first semiconductor zone, a doped third semiconductor zone of the second conduction type, which adjoins the second semiconductor zone and is doped more heavily than the second semiconductor zone, a stop zone of the second conduction type, which is arranged in the second semiconductor zone at a distance from the third semiconductor zone, the stop zone being doped more heavily than regions of the second semiconductor zone that surround the stop zone, the distance between the stop zone and the third semiconductor zone being less than the distance between the stop zone and the first semiconductor zone, wherein the stop zone is formed in sections, the stop zone having a plurality of zones arranged laterally spaced apart from one another.
