Abstract

A high-voltage component and a method for its manufacture. The component functions to switch currents at high voltages. The component is composed of partial components that are connected in series and are laterally supported on a self-supporting semiconductor wafer. The partial components switch through, for example, at a given voltage applied between a first bridge cathode and an anodic metallization.
