Abstract

In a large-area controlled-turn-off high-power semiconductor component containing a multiplicity of finely structured individual components, a semiconductor device (12) is formed by a multiplicity of small-area semiconductor chips (7) which are accommodated alongside one another in a common housing (13) and connected in parallel. This achievement avoids problems of yield with structures which are becoming finer.
