ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor component has a semiconductor body and also a metal/insulation structure arranged above the semiconductor body and having a plurality of metal regions and insulation regions laterally adjoining one another. The metal regions serve for supplying the semiconductor body with electric current. Furthermore, the semiconductor component has a passivation layer arranged on the metal/insulation structure. The passivation layer includes a metal or a metal-containing compound.
