Patent ID: 8466491

Claim:
A semiconductor component, comprising: a semiconductor body; a first emitter region of a first conductivity type in the semiconductor body; a second emitter region of a second conductivity type arranged distant to the first emitter region in a vertical direction of the semiconductor body; a base region of one of the first and second conductivity types arranged between the first and second emitter regions and having a lower doping concentration than the first and second emitter regions; a first field stop zone of the same conductivity type as the base region arranged in the base region; and a second field stop zone of the same conductivity type as the base region arranged in the base region, the second field stop zone arranged distant to the first field stop zone in the vertical direction of the semiconductor, the first field stop zone arranged between the second field stop zone and the second emitter region, and the second field stop zone including a plurality of field stop zone sections arranged mutually distant from each other in at least one horizontal direction of the semiconductor body.
