Power transistor cell and power transistor component with fusible link

A power transistor component comprising:

• a gate terminal;
• a plurality of parallel-connected transistor cells, each of the plurality of transistor cells comprising a gate conductor structure including an electrode section, wherein the gate conductor structure is connected to the gate terminal via a gate wiring line;
• and
• a plurality of fusible links, each of the plurality of fusible links provided between one of the electrode sections and the gate terminal;
• wherein each of the plurality of fusible links is provided as a fusible section on one of the gate conductor structures, the fusible section formed between the electrode section and the gate cell terminal with a cavity adjoining the fusible section, wherein the fusible section is operable to interrupt a current flow through the fusible section in the event the current flow in the fusible section is characteristic of a defective gate dielectric.
