Abstract

A high temperature sensor includes a substrate, at least two terminal contacts and at least one resistive structure, wherein the terminal contacts and the at least one resistive structure are disposed on a first side of the substrate, and at least one of the resistive structures is electrically contacted by the terminal contacts, wherein at least one electrode is disposed on each of the two terminal contacts next to the resistive structure on the first side of the substrate. The electrodes are electrically connected to the terminal contacts, respectively, or at least one electrode is disposed on at least one terminal contact next to the resistive structure on the first side of the substrate, wherein the electrode is designed in one piece with the resistive structure. The invention also relates to a high temperature sensor and a method for producing such a sensor.
