A circuit having a Schottky contact component is disclosed. One embodiment provides a semiconductor substrate having a layer of a first conductivity type, a metal layer, and delimited semiconductor regions of a second conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type, provided in or on the main surface, in order to increase the resistance of the Schottky contact component to overcurrents. At least the predominant number of delimited semiconductor regions of the second conductivity type being provided in the form of islands with a predetermined distance greater than a minimum interaction distance required for interaction of the islands to achieve an associated shielding effect. |
