Abstract
The present invention creates an operating method for a semiconductor component having a substrate; having a conductive polysilicon strip which is applied to the substrate; having a first and a second electrical contact which are connected to the conductive polysilicon strip such that this forms an electrical resistance in between them; with the semiconductor component being operated reversibly in a current/voltage range in which it has a first differential resistance (Rdiff) up to a current limit value (It) corresponding to an upper voltage limit value (Vt) and, at current values greater than this, has a second differential resistance (Rdiff), which is less than the first differential resistance (Rdiff).
