Abstract

An electronic component includes a first contact point for n-side contacting, a second contact point for p-side contacting, and a protective diode, which is connected antiparallel to the first contact point and to the second contact point. The protective diode includes a first diode structure which is p-conductive and a second diode structure which is n-conductive. The first diode structure is formed as a layer which overlaps in places with the first contact point in a first overlap region. The second diode structure is formed as a layer which overlaps in places with the second contact point in a second overlap region. The first diode structure and the second diode structure overlap each other in a third overlap region.
