Abstract

A vertical semiconductor component has an integrated switching device, which delivers an electric value correlating with the rear potential. The semiconductor component includes a doping region with a hole, which is free of the doping atoms of the doping region. The hole, when properly sized and contacted, can supply an electric current correlating with the rear potential.
