Abstract:
A pressure sensor component, comprising:a chip carrier formed with a substantially planar chip carrier surface;a semiconductor chip disposed on said chip carrier surface, said semiconductor chip having an integrated pressure sensor with a pressure-detecting surface exposed to a pressure to be measured;an infected molded component encapsulation of electrically insulating material at least partly enclosing one of said semiconductor chip and said chip carrier, said encapsulation injected molded at least partly around said semiconductor chip and said chip carrier; anda chimney-shaped connection piece incorporated into said component encapsulation for exposing said pressure-detecting surface to the pressure to be measured, said connection piece having an end bearing on said semiconductor chip and pressure-tightly enclosing said pressure-detecting surface, projecting away from said pressure-detecting surface of said pressure sensor, and penetrating through said component encapsulation.
