Power Semiconductor Component Including a Potential Probe

摘要

A power semiconductor component including a semiconductor body and two load terminals is provided. Provided furthermore is a potential probe positioned to tap an electric intermediate potential of the semiconductor body at a tap location of the semiconductor body for an electric voltage applied across the two load terminals, the intermediate potential being intermediate to the electric potentials of the two load terminals, but differing from each of the two electric potentials of the two load terminals.
