Claim:
1. An integrated imaging device, comprising: a substrate comprising an integrated circuit; a cover bonded to the substrate; a dielectric layer between the substrate and the cover; a sensor or an array of sensors; a cavity enclosed between the substrate and the cover; a surface of the substrate opposite the dielectric layer or a surface of the cover opposite the dielectric layer being provided with a structure directing incident radiation to the sensor or array of sensors; the sensor or the array of sensors being arranged in the cavity; the cavity being a vacuum or comprising a gas pressure of less than 100 Pa; at least one metallization layer being embedded in the dielectric layer; and at least one electrically conductive connection connecting the sensor or array of sensors to the metallization layer, the electrically conductive connection extending from the cavity into the dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer is arranged laterally with respect to the cavity, and wherein the at least one metallization layer extends from the dielectric layer to the sensor or array of sensors and thus forms the electrically conductive connection.
