  • Patent number: 9347800
    Abstract: Sensor with a one-layer or multi-layer sensor element operating in a contact-free manner and a housing 14 comprising an electric/electronic connection and, in given cases, electronic components, where the sensor element comprises a coil arrangement 1 whose windings 3 have a defined line width 5, line thickness 6, and line spacing 7 per layer 2 and whose layers 2 have a defined layer thickness 8b and, in given cases, a defined layer spacing 8a, characterized in that the sensor element is built up from ceramic layers in the sense of multi-layer ceramics and that with respect to traditional coil arrangements the layer thickness 8b or the layer spacing 8a is reduced and the number of windings per cross-sectional surface area is increased.

  • Patent number: 9144155
    Abstract: A sensor comprises a preferably multi-layer ceramic substrate (2) and at least one sensor element (1) arranged in, at, or on the ceramic substrate (2). The sensor element (1) can be contacted via a metallic contact (6), with the metallic contact (6) being produced via a soldering connection, which electrically connects the contact (6) with the sensor element (1) and here generates a fixed mechanic connection of the contact (6) in reference to the ceramic substrate (2). Furthermore, a method is claimed for producing the sensor according to the invention.
