An embodiment of a semiconductor device includes a plurality of transistor sections separated from each other and a plurality of diode sections separated from each other. Each transistor section includes an emitter electrode and a collector electrode. Each diode section includes an anode electrode and a cathode electrode. Each transistor section is electrically coupled to a common gate pad. A ratio between an active transistor part and an active diode part of the semiconductor device is adjustable by activating a first number of the transistor sections by selectively contacting the emitter electrodes and the collector electrodes of the first number of transistor sections, and by activating a second number of the diode sections by selectively contacting the anode electrodes and the cathode electrodes of the second number of diode sections.
