Abstract
An apparatus and a method for monitoring a semiconductor component are disclosed. A leakage current which flows through a first electrode and a second electrode of the semiconductor component is detected during operation of the semiconductor component. During a comparison, the leakage current is compared with a first limit value for the leakage current and an output is determined on the basis of a result of the comparison and/or a time is determined at which an extreme point, in particular a maximum, of the leakage current occurs and an output is determined on the basis of the time. The output comprises a state of the semiconductor component, and the output is output.
