Abstract
A semiconductor component having a first main terminal, a second main terminal, a gate terminal for controlling the current between the main terminals is provided. A first diode device can be switched between the first main terminal and the gate terminal. The first diode device has a first breakdown voltage such that the first diode device short-circuits the first main terminal with the gate terminal, thereby switching on the semiconductor component, when the voltage that drops off over the first diode device exceeds a certain predetermined value. The first diode device is connected to the control gate in an integrated manner and has an external contacting area for connecting to the first main terminal.
