A thyristor arrangement includes a main thyristor, at least one auxiliary thyristor, a resistance device which electrically connects the auxiliary thyristor and the main thyristor to one another, and an optical triggering device for breakover triggering of the main thyristor via the auxiliary thyristor and the resistance device. The resistance device defines a time-dependent ohmic resistance in such a way that the value thereof is relatively large during a switch-on phase of the main thyristor and relatively small during a current-carrying phase of the main thyristor.

A semiconductor element includes a semiconductor layer having a first doping density, a metallization, and a contact area located between the semiconductor layer and the metallization. The contact area includes at least one first semiconductor area that has a second doping density higher than the first doping density, and at least one second semiconductor area in the semiconductor layer. The second semiconductor area is in contact with the metallization and provides lower ohmic resistance to the metallization than a direct contact between the semiconductor layer and the metallization provides or would provide.

A semiconductor body of a semiconductor device includes a doped layer of a first conductivity type and one or more doped zones of a second conductivity type. The one or more doped zones are formed between the doped layer and the first surface of a semiconductor body. Trench structures extend from one of the first and the second opposing surface into the semiconductor body. The trench structures are arranged between portions of the semiconductor body which are electrically connected to each other. The trench structures may be arranged for mitigating mechanical stress, locally controlling charge carrier mobility, locally controlling a charge carrier recombination rate and/or shaping buried diffusion zones.
