Abstract

An integrated circuit and component is disclosed. In one embodiment, the component is a compensation component, configuring the compensation regions in the drift zone in V-shaped fashion in order to achieve a convergence of the space charge zones from the upper to the lower end of the compensation regions is disclosed.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A lateral component comprising:
a semiconductor body having a main surface;
a body zone in the semiconductor body, the body zone extending between at least one first electrode for a first zone of a first conductivity type and a second electrode—for a second zone arranged at a distance from the first electrode, the body zone adjoining the first electrode and being—of a second conductivity type, which is opposite to the first conductivity type;
a drift zon…
