Abstract

In a power semiconductor component having a so-called "recessed-gate" structure on the cathode side, the large-area control structure consisting of cathode fingers (1) and a lower-lying gate level (2) is divided into a plurality of small-area control zones (25a, 25b) which in each case by themselves are soldered to a cathode block (13a, 13b). This creates high-power components without the possibility of excessive thermal stresses occurring during load cycles.
