Abstract

A high-voltage breakover diode is proposed, which takes on the function of an ignition voltage distributor of an internal combustion engine having solid-state highvoltage distribution. The high-voltage breakover diode comprises a cascade of breakover diode chips, a polyimide layer having recesses in the region of the cathode connection being provided between the individual breakover diode chips produced using planar technology, in each case on the top of the breakover diode chips, and the mechanical and electrical connection of the individual breakover diode chips being effected by means of a conductive adhesive (FIG. 3).
