| Zusammenfassung: | A semiconductor device includes a plurality of forward conducting insulated-gate bipolar transistor cells configured to conduct a current in a forward operating mode of the semiconductor device and to block a current in a reverse operating mode of the semiconductor device. The semiconductor device also includes a plurality of reverse conducting insulated-gate bipolar transistor cells configured to conduct a current both in the forward operating mode and in the reverse operating mode. A corresponding method for operating a semiconductor device is also disclosed. |
