A thyristor having high forward and reverse blocking capability and a method for the manufacture thereof. The thyristor has a p-base region separated from an n-base lying therebelow by a first planar pn-junction that very gradually approaches an upper side of the thyristor at its edge region. A p-emitter is composed of a p-conductive layer inserted at the under side of the thyristor that is continued in a p-conductive lateral zone that laterally limits the thyristor and extends from an under side up to the upper side. This p-conductive lateral zone merges into a p-conductive semiconductor zone that is inserted at the upper side of the thyristor. This latter p-conductive semiconductor zone extends from a part of the lateral zone lying at the upper side, proceeds along the upper side of the thyristor in the direction toward the edge termination of the p-base region, and is separated from the n-base by a second planar pn-junction that very gradually approaches the upper side.

A power semiconductor component includes a semiconductor body having anode and cathode sides and a given thermal coefficient of expansion. Contact electrodes are each disposed on a respective one of the anode and cathode sides and are made of a metal having a thermal coefficient of expansion differing from the given thermal coefficient of expansion. At least two contact surfaces are disposed one above the other under pressure, between the semiconductor body and the contact electrodes. At least one of the contact surfaces has a layer formed of an amorphous carbon-metal compound.

A semiconductor component comprises a semiconductor body that has its underside secured on a metallic substrate and is joined at its upper side to an auxiliary member composed of a material having great thermal conductivity and which serves as a heat buffer. This auxiliary member increases the loadability of the semiconductor component with respect to additional, thermal stressing pulses.

A thyristor having low-reflection light-triggering structure. In a light-triggerable thyristor, pyramidal depressions are formed in a simple manner by a preferred etching method, being formed in the region of the photon entry face in order to produce a low-reflection light-triggering structure. Incident light is absorbed in the pyramidal depressions largely independent of the wavelength of the incident light and nearly completely. The low-reflection light-triggering structure thereby produced can be formed with relatively little outlay. This is especially true when a defined overhead ignition voltage is simultaneously set by the pyramidal depressions.
