Abstract

A semiconductor component includes a semiconductor layer (210) and at least one diode (220) in the semiconductor layer. The semiconductor component also includes an electrically insulative layer (230) over the semiconductor layer and the diode. The semiconductor component further includes at least one more diode (240, 250, 280, 290, 440, 450) over the electrically insulative layer, the semiconductor layer, and the diode in the semiconductor layer.
