Patent ID: 8796732

Claim:
A thyristor component comprising: a p-conducting semiconductor substrate; an n-conducting well at a top side of the semiconductor substrate; a p-conducting well, which adjoins the n-conducting well at least at two mutually opposite sides; highly n-conducting regions and highly p-conducting regions, which are embodied in strip-shaped fashion and are arranged parallel to one another in the n-conducting well in an alternating sequence, wherein the respective outer regions in said sequence are highly n-conducting, a highly n-conducting inner region is connected to the highly n-conducting outer regions at mutually opposite ends, and the outer regions have electrical resistances which respectively increase from the ends of the outer regions toward the center; further highly n-conducting regions and further highly p-conducting regions, which are embodied in strip-shaped fashion and are arranged parallel to one another in the p-conducing well, wherein the further highly n-conducting regions are arranged at a smaller distance from the n-conducting well than the further highly p-conducting regions; connection contacts on the highly n-conducting regions and on the highly p-conducting regions of the n-conducting well with the exception of the highly n-conducting outer regions, wherein the connection contacts are electrically conductively connected to one another; and further connection contacts on the further highly n-conducting regions and on the further highly p-conducting regions of the p-conducting well, wherein the further connecting contacts are electrically conductively connected to one another.
