Claim Text:
1. A magnetoresistive sensor module, comprising: an arrangement having a semiconductor substrate, wherein a semiconductor circuit arrangement is integrated adjacent to a main surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a metal-insulator arrangement, wherein the metal-insulator arrangement is arranged on the main surface of the semiconductor substrate and comprises a plurality of structured metal sheets with surrounding insulation layers, wherein the structured metal sheets are electrically connected to the semiconductor circuit arrangement; a first metal filled via and a second metal filled via through a topmost layer of the insulation material, the first metal filled via being electrically connected to a first portion of the top most structured metal sheet, and the second metal filled via being electrically connected to a second portion of the topmost structured metal sheet, the first portion being electrically isolated from the second portion; the first and second metal filled via ending flush with a surface of the topmost layer of the insulation material so as to achieve a planar surface of the insulation material and the first and second metal filled via; and a magnetoresistive sensor structure, which is applied on the planar surface of the topmost layer of insulation material of the metal-insulator arrangement and over the first and second metal filled vias, so as to establish an electrical connection between the magnetoresistive sensor structure and the first and second portion of the topmost structured metal sheet, so that the magnetoresistive sensor structure is connected to the integrated circuit arrangement.
