Abstract
A semiconductor body includes a protective structure. The protective structure () includes a first and a second region () which have a first conductivity type and a third region () that has a second conductivity type. The second conductivity type is opposite the first conductivity type. The first and the second region () are arranged spaced apart in the third region (), so that a current flow from the first region () to the second region () is made possible for the limiting of a voltage difference between the first and the second region (). The protective structure includes an insulator () that is arranged on the semiconductor body () and an electrode () that is constructed with floating potential and is arranged on the insulator ().
